Blushing Bracket

Daedaleopsis confragosa

27th September 2017, Hayes Common
Growing on birch log. Many clustered fans. Fans up to 12cm across. Very tough flesh. Oozes a bit of fluid when squeezed. This deep red colour seems to be not usual for this fungus, but some of them on the web do look like this. Tempted to think it might be a Cinnabar Polypore but defintely not, unfortunately. ID is very likely. Spores 8-11.5µ x 3-3.5µ.
