I would be very grateful for help with ID oF fungus found in a Scottish woodland this Autumn, which seems to like to grow on dead silver birch tree trunks. Any ideas what it is? So many of the images on identification pages look the same.

I think they are Fomitopsis betulina, commonly known as the birch polypore, birch bracket, or razor strop.
