Found on decayed heartwood of common Lime 

Have a look at Pleurotus dryinus for comparison.

Found this at the base of a Beech, is it Perenniporia fraxinea, Ganaderma sp. or something else?

I’d agree with Perenniporia

Evening all 

I was hoping someone could be kind enough to offer some opinions on ID? 

The top pair I believe to be some sort of Fomes but am struggling? 

The middle pair are located on an oak, with fruiting bodies much of the way round the butt, all coming out from in between the buttresses. Does the location indicate decay of the butt/ lower stem heartwood and a lack of in the buttresses? Perhaps Ganoderma adspersum? 

The bottom I believe are Flammulina velutipes, I just thought they looked nice so would share them.

A tiny bit of geotropism

Something slimy, on an old hazel in my woodland. They are a little bit greener in real life.

Top are Ganoderma species, middle may be old Psuedoinonotus dryadeus and yes would agree on Flammulina species.

Look like one of the Stemonitis slime molds.

Yes, that matches up, thanks. Photo was taken yesterday and today it's a dark brown/black.
