Help - few fungi ID's please

[_Andy]

Hi new to this forum but could really do with some help identifying these few fungi.

 

What fungi would cause a ash tree to fall over by its roots like this, roots look as though they have just broken apart!

[_Andy]

These fungi on a sycamore stump?

Would I be right in saying this is some sort of aphid attacking this let leylandii hedge

[GTW]

The dreaded Honey Fungus would be my first guess, check under the bark and look for flat boot lace like strands and take a pic.

The hedge could be aphid, has it been recently cut while all the frost and snow is about?

Not sure whether this is a fungi a beetle or just lots of wounds that haven't healed over properly on a sweet chestnut.

They are quite deep and there when about 20 or more on a 10ft section near the base of the Sweet chestnut. None of the other SWs close had these holes in them.

 

Thanks for your help in advance!

Thanks Peter

 

I will try and get under the bark tomorrow.

 

The hedge was trimmed yesterday but as for previous years I don't know!

does the foliage on the other side of the hedge have a similar pattern?

[_Andy]

The other side of the hedge (on top of a railway embankment) is a lot more sparse than this side but it does not appear to have the same dead foliage.

 

The side with the dead foliage on is in a back garden, sheltered but it is quite exposed from the railway side.

 

Thanks
