Based on other images connected to this one, it appears to be Fomitopsis pinicola. Don't be fooled by the name pinicola meaning pine dweller. It can also be found on some hardwoods.

I think I identified this one correct, but since the Red Banded Polypore is not that common I'm curious whether anyone could confirm my ID.
