Polyporus squamosus?
I saw these fungi growing on a dead tree today in rural Aberdeenshire. I think They are probably Polyporus squamosus but cannot be sure. Can you help?
Thanks
Thanks

Hi, and welcome to UK Fungi.
I think you can safely say that is definitely P.squamosus.
Nothing with similar macro characteristics, (I'm thinking of P.tuberaster), would grow with such a large grouping and to such a large size.

Mike.
