[CGJ]

On a riverside tree in South Yorkshire.

 

[CGJ]

No response from anyone but its been identified elsewhere as Chicken of the Woods.

 

[Trichia]

Yes, agreed - Laetiporus sulphureus CofTW, growing on Yew by the looks of it.

Although this species can be weakly parasitic, it usually just rots away the heart wood, benefiting the tree by making it hollow and less likely to sustain major damage in extreme weather conditions.

Cheers,
