[Hannah]

are the first 2 heterobasidion annosun and the second 2 some sort of puffball?

Yes n yes

[ScottF]

the top one looks more like Daedaleopsis confragosa to me

 

the second one I'm pretty certain is Lycoperdon pyriforme which is edible. But I've never eaten one I hasten to add. The reason they looked like puffballs is because they grow deep in rotten smee so you can't see their "stems" are hidden

 

Superb pics. Did you use a flash?

What size are the pores?

 

Heterobasidion annosum - small

Deadaleopsis confragosa - large

Good spotting tip

The pores were small and i would agree with the second one being Lycoperdon pyriforme, and i didnt use a flash.

Hannah- your 2nd set of pics look like H. annuosum. Are they the same sample? If they're in a conifer woodland (as it looks like they are), then it's almost certainly H. Are all the trees as you look up looking pretty rough?

The pores of Daedaleopsis confragosa would also best be described as elongated, it is know as the maze gill after all...
