Request for help with fungi ident.

I've got three different examples, I'll start with the one I'm most confident with; Inonotus hispidus; decayed bracket on a London Plane? The picture is from November, sorry about the quality, it's a scan.

Second is at the base of an Oak, I thought this looked like a Ganoderma?

Third I'm not really sure of at all, this is in two of the buttresses of a large Beech. In the last picture there is a new, small ball of distinctly yellow fruiting body forming.

the hispidus and pfiefferi no issues but the oak needs looking into urgently

Thanks for the quick response. Must admit, from a complete novice's point of view I thought the oak was the least concerning; thanks for the input.
