Dark-footed Tinypore

Microporus affinis, commonly known as "dark-footed tinypore", is a fungus species in the family Polyporaceae. I found these beautiful specimens on a large, decaying tree branch. This fan-shaped bracket has a velvety/satin-like, ridged cap with concentric zones of various colours including brown, red, yellow, green, blue and black, and with a fine white margin. The lower surface is white and finely pored, and from what I've read, the spore print is also white. Distinctive characteristics for this species are the saucer-shaped depression in the cap near the stem (aka stipe), and the very short lateral stem which expands at the base to form a dark ‘foot’. However, the large specimen I found had a pronounced central stem (last photo) which I think is unusual for this species. Probably 20-30 brackets growing on this large branch. NB: The specimen that I'm holding was found on the forest floor - it had already been dislodged from the branch. Lucky for me because it was a beautiful specimen, and quite a decent size too. The shifting light from full shade to direct sunlight had an amazing effect as the colours were so changeable. Sunlight definitely highlighted the satin-like quality of the brackets, whereas the colours seemed to be enhanced with softer, filtered light or full shade. Anyway, that's what I see.
