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.
