Ian,
Good bet would be Ganoderma and, if the flesh tends toward a slight
purple colour when scratched then that would be my bet. Funny thing is
though, the third picture because it is low resolution, has an uncanny
outline of Fomes fomentaris. Fomes is of course a secondary infection.
Ron.

Subject: Fungal bracket ID
Dear all,
I'm trying to identify a (juvenile?) white chalky fungal bracket found
between the buttresses of a veteran beech tree. After looking through
Lonsdale's Principles of Tree Hazard Assessment my hypothesis gravitated
towards Perenniporia fraxinea or perhaps Ganadema (resinaceum).
Ridgeoporous has also been mentioned too. Any ideas?
See attached.
Thanks,
Ian
