Can anyone identify this Fungii

Well, according to my book of fungi, it's Coriolus versicolor.

Goodness, how extraordinary! It looks very like the Many-Zoned Polypore - Coriolus Versicolor but I have never seen it on garden furniture or indeed on any manufactured article. It's very common on deciduous wood in the wild and also in gardens.

No idea how to get rid of it - a fungicide at a guess?

Snap Fractal :-)

...now name changed to Trametes versicolor (on Wikipedia).

Yes, I have seen this too and it is a Cestina says very common though I have not seen it on what appears to be well preserved/stained wood like this?

They can be very lovely in the wild - a gorgeous colour range.

Yes, that's another unhelpful thing fungi do - they keep being reclassified. You just think you have a latin name safely under your belt and off it goes again :-(

Bit like blushing bracket-Daedaleopsis confragosa ? usually found on broad leafed trees. sorry while writing this I see you were given the right answer.

They are beautiful fungi, though. Do you have to remove it? It makes a nice feature on the chair.

Many thanks everyone for your quick answer to my question.

Bulbaholic asked if it was necessary to remove the fungi because it made a nice feature. To this question I have to reply saying 'I do not know' I am assuming this is a fungi which grows on rotting wood so I do not think there is much I can do to eliminate the rotting process.

Many thanks again

You can treat the wood with preservative after removing the fungi and cleaning it.

I agree with bulbaholic - as I said on another thread, I do all I can to encourage fungi into my garden since I find them every bit as interesting, and often as beautiful, as flowers and other plants.

Trouble is, they are very picky about where they grow and are often in a symbiotic relationship with a particular kind of tree or other material which I cannot provide for them.
