Looks like a Trametes family member but underneath the pores were not small, smooth and round but decidedly tooth-shaped. Spores were sausage-shaped and measured ~ 6-8 x 2-2.5 µm. Any ideas. Thanks.
Oooohh lovely - This looks like Trametopsis cervina - Was it in Wales? I don't think it's ever been recorded there before. If you still have the collection or can revisit the site I'd recommend sending a dried specimen to Kew
T.cervina was known under the name Antrodia pseudosinuosa in the UK up until last year when DNA sequencing proved that they are synonyms.
There's only a handful of sites in the UK that the species is known from - Please let us know whether the guys at Kew agree with my suggestion if you end up sending it (I'm no Polypore expert but I have had the pleasure of collecting this species).
