Trying to I.D this with the help of @David Humphries book, but i can not work it out any thoughts .

Also is the last picture Oak Polypore.  I photo'ed It a couple of years ago,  and haven't I.D it. Whilst looking through the book it looks very similar.

Red colour on the pore surface is likely a parasitic fungi attacking the surface of its host (what tree are those associating with?) The last be may well be Buglossoporus quecinus if it’s with oak and defiantly is a polypore and not a forming mushroom type  with gills or Bolete type with pores? I’ve seen oak poly split like this. Can you remember which month yo photographed that one?

The first fungi is growing on a firewood offcut that i uncovered with the digger moving timber around.

The possible oak polypore i photograph in September.

I have been looking on the NBN database and there are only a couple of records in Wales for the polypore.

Do the fruit bodies behind the main specimen in he last image look to have gills?

Just zoomed in on the original, yes they do

[David Humphries]

May just be something like Hypholoma rather than oak poly if they are all the same and have gills
