    Help Identifying This Fungi

    Hey guys, long time reader, first time poster! (Too cliche?)

    I was walking through my local forest the other day and noticed these fungi. Not knowing the name of it, I've had difficulty finding similar fungi through google image searches and the one result I got leads me to believe it could be razor strop!
    I don't want to count my chickens before they've hatched so I hoped you guys could shed some definite light on it?

    Hi Ian
    Might be a good idea to pop over to the Introduction thread and do the formalities there.
    May well be Birch polypore as you suggest. Were they on a Birch tree?

    Piptoporus betulinus, commonly known as the birch polypore, birch bracket, or razor strop. Although I am trying to see the pic on my tiny phone display

    Hah, well thank you for confirming, Sapper . Took another little walk and found what I think are loads more on a couple of nearby stumps. I didn't realise they were so common!
