Walking in Fox Wood this muddy and very slippy afternoon, and trying to give Toby as much ball-chasing as possible, just as we came to the start of the upgrade and the spruce plantation near the road, there was a large oak branch down on the ground, about 20 cm diameter and a good 8 m long or more. One large fruiting body of what was most likely to be the Bleeding Oak Crust Stereum gausapatum (Fr.) Fr. was very obvious in its chestnut colour. It reddened consistently when rubbed - top right of the crust in the third image.
