Is the fungi on a beech tree and low down? It has pores so it's not an oyster, best I can think of is giant polypore, Meripilus giganteus, but it doesn't look quite right to me.

I'll have to go check what tree it is. But it's about 7 or 8ft off the ground.

If it was on conifer I would say Oyster Rollrim, but as it's on deciduous, probably young hen of the woods. However, identification from photos alone fool the experts let alone us amateurs

Giant polypore flesh discolours black when bruised.

I thought it may have been COTW when I first saw it from a distance. My child like excitement made me almost run up to it! . Is Hen of the woods a different mushroom?

Yep hen of the wood is a different fungus. Less solid, thinner layers than COTW.
