Hi Simon, at first glance I'd assumed the same as you, given species and
location; but the top (not photo'd unfortunately) is smooth and yellow, not
slightly scaly like P squamosus usually is; and the underside pore layer is
almost white. The nearest thing I could find was another Polypore, P.
varius; but this is apparently smaller than the bracket I saw. Re the season,
it is so out of joint this year that I don't think that it precludes fruiting
at odd times!
Have a great Christmas
Rupert

On elm I'd go for P.squamosus too, although it does have a yellow tinge.
That might be the photo.
It is an odd time of year for it to appear, but the temperature is high for
the time of year, the grass is still growing round here. Fungi seem less
bothered by the time of year than other organisms, this pic is from April
2011 when there was a massive fruiting of Laetiporus at the same time the
bluebells flowered.
