Tree ID please

[mrbadexample]

Hi, could someone give me an ID on these please? I was hoping it might be suitable for growing mushrooms. 

The last pictures are of where it came from - it's probably another one of those but can't guarantee it.

 

Appreciate any assistance.

Plum - Cherry Plum probably; Prunus cerasifera  (or similar)

Thanks nepia, can I ask what degree of certainty you have? 

 

Please don't take that the wrong way - I was told "whitebeam or hornbeam" by the people cutting it down. I was hoping it was hornbeam but it soon became apparent that it wasn't - hence the post.  Could it be whitebeam? I didn't offer that information first as I didn't want to give anyone preconceived ideas.

 

I don't think it will be of much use either way, unfortunately.

It’s a type of prunus.

Why is the stump white but the logs red?

Thank you. I didn't want to appear disbelieving, just wanted to double check.

I didn't even see the stump!  And I assumed the logs came from another of the pictured trees but now I don't think so.

The logs are definitely Prunus but one reason I said 'cerasifera or similar' is that the form of the tree isn't right for cerasifera; the branches are too straight.

Well spotted @Stere

The logs are Prunus, the trees in the last pic probably Hornbeam.

I when saw the logs thought they might be hawthorn but think its cherry plum now others have said that.

Curious that. The stump being white would indicate Sorbus sp. Not so sure about the Prunus as a lack of prominent lenticels or at least so it would appear! Any pics of buds?
