Unidentified Flying Mushroom

[rovers90]

I have had these pics on my Blackberry for a few months and have only just managed to download them (still got problems with e-mail set up but thats another matter).

 

I'm not a mushroom or funghi enthusiast, I just take pics of things I see that I like. The mushroom up the tree looks like a ufo has crashed in to a silver birch, saw this when beating on a shoot. The mushrooms on the log were discovered in a garden that I maintain for a client. Trees were cut down last year and this log had been left lying in the undergrowth. It was absolutely stunning when I first found it.

 

Hopefully, someone will be able to identify them.

Thanks Monkey-D. Since I discovered the ones on the log I had been trying to think what they reminded me off and as soon as I read turkey tail it was obvious!

So is Coriolus versicolour now Trametes versicolour?

yup, you still get points for either on a test though..
