Not tempted to sample it being exhaust and dog height, plus a bit dry.

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?
