These seem to come in a variety of shapes and sizes, Rachael. I found some and they looked like this - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/30468084 but if you google 'Pycnoporus coccineus images' you'll see what I mean. I did quite a bit of research when I made my spotting, some I'm 99% sure this ID for yours is correct. Great spotting of a really awesome specimen.
