This used to belong with the Stereums but was moved to this genus because spores, cystidia and rather soft feel to the brackets are all different. It seems to be rare, but may be overlooked as it is not very striking to look at. Its brown velvety caps and very pallid brown or grey-buff hymenium bruising brownish are macroscopically unlike Stereum. The photo is Marion's. 1st Notts record
