sycamore fungi ID help

[Bluecedar]

Pictures of 2 different fungi on separate mature sycamore below taken within past week -

can anyone help with an ID?

 

The bracket one shows location and close up (with a crappy phone camera) and is at the base of the tree.

 

Thanks

Bluecedar, The second photo looks like it could well be Flammulina velutipes. Check out this thread http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/fungi-pictures/40036-nice-bouquet.html

The bracket fungus could well be Oxyporus populinus, but a microscope is needed to determine these specimen with 100 % certainty.

There you have it Bluecedar, that's at least 99.9% certain!
