A pal sent me these pics from Canada.
Any views please?
Red belted bracket, Fomitopsis pinicola? 
And this seems to have spores, sorry, no further details for either!
I feel I should know it...............    
Cheers
Ken

Hi
If the second one has spines under the cap and not pores (difficult to see as not quite in focus) I think it would be: Sarcodon imbricatum

The first looks very much like our own Ganoderma resinaceum, but in Canada they may have others very similar.

re the Sarcodon species, by an odd coincidence, I have just been reading about these, and it would appear that S. imbricatus is found with spruce, while S.squamosus is found with pine,
information from from this link (middle pic) https://picasaweb.google.com/1039563...OqZZym9dKFJPVA
while my copy of Phillips states the imbricatus is not recorded for Britain (yes, I know this was from Canada) and that squamosus is found with Pinus sylvestris
