Whatever I can judge from the given pics, I think it is Laetoporus sulphureus<\/em>, Sulphur shelf bracket fungus belonging to Polyporales (Basidiomycetes). To confirm see the link below:

I these are a bunch of young basidiocarp from Laetiporus sulphureus<\/i><\/font> commonly known as “sulphur selves<\/b>” <\/p>\n

\n

On going through flickr search, it does look like Laetiporus sulphureus<\/i> … except a line about its distribution and habitat at Wikipedia http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Laetiporus_sulphureus<\/font><\/a> says:
“widely distributed across Europe and North America, although may be restricted to east of the Rockies.” <\/p>\n

\n

I think this fungi grows in India . You try a google search with (Laetiporus sulphureus<\/i> + India) <\/p>\n

\n

2 results sufficient to know its distribution in North and South India. <\/span><\/div>\n

2) http:\/\/www.academicjournals.org\/ajb\/PDF\/pdf2009\/4Feb\/Prakash%20et%20a…<\/font><\/a> <\/p>\n
\n

Nice to know that you could confirm Laetiporus sulphureus<\/i> is distributed ubiquitously in India.
I am only assuming that the photographed mushroom is a very \u00a0young form of the mushroom.
Laetiporus sulphureus<\/i>\u00a0\u00a0is mostly found associated with tree trunk which they eventually decompose.
Hence my speculation is completely based on probability , there is ever possibility that the fungus which you have recorded may be something different. <\/p>\n
