the oak doesnt look in the best of health tbh, but the other 2 look okay. any help would be great

1 ganoderma resinaceum if dying back be VERY wary

 

2 99% ganoderma Pfiefferi, tends to stay confined to ripewood but get the T/r checked to be certain

 

3 sparasis crispa, a brown rotter often decay extends into butt by a metre or so, as with 2 get the T/R checked and have a little look at canopy if its thinning get the roots checked out or get a thermo assesment done if your budget allows.
