hey, can anyone ID this Bracket fungus, it's on a Eucalyptus robusta the tree is quite old with several large unsealed wounds one of which has this fungus beneath it. it appears white on top with a almost floro yellow underneath.

I aint seen that one either ... what's going on here, that's two unusual fungi in 2 days.

Never had these problems in the drought!

well more moisture means that the mycelium levels are more elevated than when the drought is on so more fungi fruit and spread making more fungi viscious circle.

Somewhat remeniscent of laetiporus portentosus but like Erics previous white shelf bracket fruiting body could be Postia sp
