Not one that I've yet seen, but this has the look of Trichaptum abietinum - Purplepore Bracket.
If it is, it is certainly one that I would like to find! - Nice photograph!
Regards,
Mike. |

Hi
Trichaptum abietinum has similar purple colours but I am not sure if there are other possibilities. With Bracket fungi it always helps to let us know what tree the fungus is growing on.

The tree looks to me like a Sycamore.
It is difficult to judge the true size of the fungi from the photo.
Lovely plant!
Dorts.

Just checked thro my log for where and when I took this image and suspect tree species was a pine and the trunk size was aprox 80 cm diameter (to give some idea of scale) and it was in Essex.Many thanks for your efforts any further comments would be appreciated. |

Bottom left of the photo looks like a pine needle. T.abietinum.
