Hard to give a name to all of them, because for some species, there's to little information on the characteristics, but here we go anyway.

1/3 : Amanita muscaria

4 : Coprinus comatus

5/6 : Fomitopsis pinicola ?

8/9 : Phellinus hartigii ? if so, rare !

17 : Boletus species

20/21/22 : Sparassis laminosa very rare !!!

23 Boletus species

 

Hi Gerrit,

 

I hope that you are well. Thank you for the ident info. Do you know what I found really strage about the Sparassis find? In all of the Foret (French spelling) I walked I stumbled across the odd stool but there was none (that I could see) of any significance (size, shape or associated with a tree) but at the car park edge was this huge Sparassis. I remember vividly saying to my wife that is is strange that the forest is 'clean' and yet only 'infected' near civilisation.

 

Again thank you,

 

Marco

am i certain? would i argue with gerrit if i wasnt?

 

it IS grifola frondosa, your fungi is nowt like the ULTRA rare laminosa which is if you look widely mis identified, 99% of the net images are of grifola.

 

laminosa like crispa is a brown rotter of conifers

Grifola frondosa-

 

can be mistook for polyporus umbellatus and has even been mistook for meripilus giganteus.
