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

Difficult to be sure at that resolution. A clearer image of the pores would be useful. 
 

They could be I. hispidus, but wouldn’t rule out Cerioporus squamosus.

Stunning pictures David (as usual !) - the Meripilus is beautiful
