never mind, lesson learnt although, where was your first aid kit? You should always carry at least one large wound dressing, I carry military issue F.F.D's ( first field dressings) as well as a fairly comprehensive, though compact first aid kit.
I once spent spent half an hour trying to stop a wound from a cheap folding saw, bleeding profusely. I was at the bottom of a gully and had a bit of a struggle getting out again.
The bracket fungus, is birch polypore or razor strop fungus, although thats a rather manky specimen.
great for processing, for insect repellent smudge sticks, ember extender for flint and steel or friction fire lighting and of course; making a strop for your knife.
best wishes, and sort out a first aid kit for when ever you are using edged tools
