Razor strop fungus, lightly nibbled

Razor strop fungus, lightly nibbled

Razor strop fungus, otherwise known as birch polypores, grow as bracket fungi on (surprise) birch trees. Back in the dim and distant past of a hundred years ago, they were used to give the final sharpening to cut-throat razors.

Something had begun eating these, which were growing on a fallen birch trunk in Himley Plantation.
