New Species - Stereum rameale

I am slightly reluctant to spend a lot of time trying to identify woodland fungi species but occasionally I get sucked in and this resupinate fungus turned out to be Stereum rameale which is a new record for the site albeit a common enough fungus on dead twigs. Hairy Curtain Crust (STereum hirsutim) is definitely hairy whereas this is merely downy on the underside (when looked at some magnification).
