New species - Hairy Curtain Crust

I don't recollect recording Hairy Curtain Crust (Stereum hirsutum) before but it is a very common fungus found on dead wood. In this case some oak that had to be taken down last year was piled in the field and is now covered in hundreds of fruiting bodies of HCC. Its features are hairiness and zoning so easy to identify.
