Any idea what type of fungus this is?

I would hazard a guess at Trametes versicolor. There are several similar species, with T. zonata closest but much less common. Someone else may be able to be more definite.

Thanks David, I had got nowhere with my search, primarily because I had wrongly assumed that the fungus was a white strip, as the remainder of it looks very similar to the wood behind !
