Great first image! Hey that's OK about missing out on the underside for in this case I'm able to id your fungus from your images. Even though this fungus has gills it belongs in the family Polyporeaceae and is a wood rotter. White rot from what I remember!?

By the way this species used to be known by the name of Panus fasciatus, which is a name you may find in some older books.

Thanks Pam,
I feel a bit silly not having identified it from your book but it doesn't look quite the same. It's certainly a beautiful fungus. Lyndall

Don't feel silly, be a bit kinder to yourself. There can be a fair amount of variation within species and this is then impacted by the growing conditions and the age of the fungus. So many of your sightings won't look quite the same as in the book. The idea of the book was to give you some guidance. If you think of other fruit such as apples or tomatoes, not every piece of fruit on one plant will look exactly the same as every other one. Fungi are the same, they are the reproductive structure on the fungal organism which is within the substrate, be it wood or soil etc., from which the fungus has emerged!
