| | | Bracket Fungus - Help Please
Would anybody happen to know what kind of Bracket Fungus this is growing on a living Japanese White Birch, I did contemplate Trametes Versicolor but not too sure. Any help much appreciated thanks.  |

Hi
The underside is just as important as the top
what is underneath?
Has it got pores (little holes) ?

We do not work miracles on this forum, we need a. decent photos to work from and b. loads of background information.
So at a wild guess I can only suggest (not even knowing the size) Plicaturopsis crispa.

Neil. | Too make things even more fun for you (I'm outta this one!!), it looks like the OP, and quite possibly the fungus in the foto, is in Japan ....

Sorry about the lack of information, I am new to this and after realising a lot of Fungal species in Japan also grow in Britain and Europe I was hoping someone may have see this.
The size of the little critters was between 1 and 3cm wide.
Densely packed together as can be seen,
Quite hard texture not sure about the underside but they were thin also unlike some Plicaturopsis spp. Maybe mm or two that's all. 
Hope the close-up image helps.
Any help much appreciated |

That helps a little, and they do indeed look like Trametes versicolor, but in miniaturisation.

You has several species of Trametes (Coriolus) in Japan that we do not have in the UK, you also have a similar genus called Microporus.
