Chipmunk Fungus

This polypore on a downed tree had a similar coloration to a chipmunk, which interestingly was not present at all on our walk to the Heath.



I'm not good at fungi ID, but I'm guessing this is the red-belted bracket fungus, Fomitopsis pinicola, one of the hoof fungi. I think it should be called the chipmunk fungus.
