Spuing
Fomes fomentarius
Tinder or horse's hoof fungus

These are the largest examples I've encountered of this fungus, the lower ones were much bigger than dinner plates (about 50cm across).

The first English common name comes from their use as natural fire lighters (nothing to do with a dating website). The fungus also grows in a shape resembling a horse's hoof.

This fungus was growing on a very large, long-dead beech tree.

The topside of the fungus showing an attractive pale brown colour. Both the colour and the texture appearance is reminiscent of cocoa powder. The brown has a darker fringe, then a white outer fringe. The fungus is on a very large, dead beech tree. Underside of the same fungus. The underside is almost uniformly a creamy colour. It is this side that has the spore holes.

Some views from Loch Linnhe, including seals on their rock. We saw dolphins as well, but I didn't take pictures of them.
