Growing inside old stump. Bracket 10cm across. Scarlet pink with white underside. Very pink and pretty. Not sure if this really is Beefsteak Fungus but I can't find anything else similar. Happening to be growing next to a yellow fungal blob which was an interesting colour clash. Also, a few hundred yards away was another small red blobby thing. Could it be a very immature version of the the same thing? ID is best guess.

Growing on ash stump. 15cm across. Fungusy smell. Flesh fibrous and rubbery but easy to cut. Strong red on outside but yellowish on inside. ID is very likely. Spores 5.5-6µ x 4.5-5.5µ.
