Hirsutum meaning hairy but you have to look close up for the fine hairs on the upper surface. This common fungi is known as Hairy curtain crust and is quite abundant in the Borough woods at Morpeth. It is quite attractive giving a splash of gold to the woodland on nice sunny mornings. The pics were taken on a living Beech but most of the fungi I saw was on old fallen branches of Oaks.
