Difficult to identify exactly from just one foto. and it dosen't look
like a fresh one.
Anyway it is /Fomes fomentarius/ called tinder fungus. Also ice-man-fungus.
The iceman or Ötzi, was carrying a piece of this mushroom, as medicin.
The birch polypore is known to have antibiotic and styptic effects.
Furthermore, toxic oils in bracket fungi are effective against the
intestinal parasites that Ötzi himself suffered from. Were these
curative properties already known in the Neolithic period?

More information on ichman here: http://www.iceman.it/en, it is very
interesting. If you ever visit tirol, do visit this museum.
Enjoy!
