Coriolus nigromarginatus
Trametes hirsuta, commonly known as hairy bracket, is a fungal plant pathogen. It is found on dead wood of deciduous trees, especially beechwood. It is found all year round and persists due to its leathery nature.

Description
The cap is up to 15 centimetres (6 in) wide, exceptionally 30 cm. It is whitish gray, with short hairs and subtle zoning, sometimes tomentose and yellowish or darker near the margin. The flesh is tough, up to 5 millimetres (1⁄4 in) thick, with a soft gray upper layer and a whitish lower layer separated by a black plane. It is too tough for consumption.
Similar species. Similar species include T. pubescens, which is unzoned, buff in colour, and without layered flesh. T. versicolor is more distinctively zoned. T. occidentalis appears to be closely related.
