Fungi on base of pendunculate oak

[AJStrees]

Hello, while doing some work in the woodland area I work in. I came across these two. Probably fairly common but not up to speed yet on the various fungi. This same tree had chicken in the woods on  it earlier in the year.

The first one is Grifola frondosa (hen of the woods)

Is the second one on Pine?

If so then it will be Sparassis crisps (cauliflower fungi)

Okay thanks. Both of them are at the base of the oak which lead me to believe something interesting might be going on down there.

Ok, unlikely for the second one to be S. crispa probably a different Sparassis species.

Interesting. Yes there are many of the Sparassis species. Thanks again for the info.

I have looked again and you were right, the Sparassis was actually on the base of a Scots Pine (Pinus Sylvestris) which also has a bracket fungus growing on it at a high level and coming down the trunk slowly. Big pine tree.

Anyone know what this bracket might be on this Pinus Sylvestris? Phellinus Pini? or something else?
