Bracket Fungi ID help| Phellinus igniarius ?

This fruiting body is apparently the third generation one.... past ones have been knocked off and were up to 3 times the size.

Lots of swelling, lots of wound wood growing in a haphazard fashion around the area like traditional cankers. It looks like Phellinus sp to me, looking for some confirmation.

Color appear correct.

IMO Phellinus robustus, hard to distinguish from P. badius.

This tree is in the middle of a low ropes course, targets everywhere.

Mate, they had a flying fox I reckon was maybe 400m long, nice and high ... didn't get to have a go!
