Aurantiporous fissillis , The Greasy Bracket

The Greasy Bracket fits into a category of fungi that I admire and generally walk past, not worth eating or no use for the table. This is a striking example of it growing aggressively, so I stopped and took a few photographs.It most likely caused the rot in this tree in the first instance and led to the tree being felled for safety.

On the upside I'd the top table for a break.
