Probably setting myself up for a fall again

but here goes anyway,

Is this creolophus cirrhatus?

It was found on a deciduous trunk in the New Forest, it covered an area of about 25cms wide and 10-15 high,the fruit bodies were bracket like with no stem and ' teeth ' growing out of them.

Philips describes it as Rare which is another reason i end up doubting it is

Thanks

If you found this a few years ago, it is.

But if you found this recently, it is Hericium cirrhatum and is probably a Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) species.
