Another one I can't anywhere with! Initially I thought this might be Jelly Rot Fungus (Phlebia tremellosa), but the underside looks smooth (sorry for the poor images - it was getting dark at the time and the camera was struggling) and after looking in more detail I can see this looks quite different anyway. They were growing on decaying logs of plane trees in Surrey.
Does anyone have any pointers? Many thanks.

Re: Another unidentified polypore
Hello,
as you say, the underside is smooth. Therefore it isn't a polypore of course, but a corticioid fungus. This is Stereum hirsutum.
best regards,
Andreas
