Found a Fungus!

Whilst cycling through our local woods a couple of evenings ago I found a large fungus growing on the base of a tree (lime?) near the edge of the woods.

Stopped to show Deece when we drove past yesterday, she was impressed too (1. with its size - Deece uses her foot to give an idea of scale in the second photo, and 2. that it had not been damaged by kids). We belive it to be a Dryads Saddle (Polyporus squamosus).
