Need to show flesh, tubes and pores
-
I suggest, emptying the old phone memory or take a small digital camera out with you. 🙂 And a guess, If the blue/green ones smelled strongly of aniseed then they are possibly Clitocybe odora - Aniseed Funnel but could also be Stropharia aeruginosa - Verdigris Roundhead. The orange ones maybe Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca - False Chanterelle. Last one could be an Agaric or Lepiota species.

The key to learning about fungal identification is looking at (and showing) all the features of the fruiting body. All of these features (gills, pores, stem, spore colour etc) help place the specimens in to family, genus, species. I could possibly take a stab at guessing the ident on your fine examples, but have learnt that more often information is often required to narrow down the idents. Have you got any more shots of the features?

bet that was a right crack Mick, we had a great tour there in about ‘95, don’t remember the football much 😁

I think this is more likely to be desiccated Psuedoinonotus dryadeus brackets

I would suspect that these are Ganoderma adspersum (the southern bracket) rather than Ganoderma applanatum ( the artist bracket) it’s quite difficult to determine a positive identification from just images of the fruiting body morphology. Microscopic assessment of the spores is really the only way to be sure. The tree appears to be adapting to internal decay and load. The pronounced developing buttressing and leaf coverage suggest good vitality but it would be prudent to have a thorough assessment undertaken by a professional.

Not entirely sure but habit and features are similar to the clouded funnel (Clitocybe nebularis) -

Run for your life ! 😁 Meripilus giganteus, (giant polypore) What you’re looking at are just the fruiting bodies of the fungus. By themselves, not what the focus needs to be on, Condition of the crown foliage. Soil health. Exposure to wind load . Level of occupancy around that tree in terms of target. site management protocols in terms of access around the tree during significant weather events. The above are some of the issues that should be considered before a saw is put to use. -

This is a young developing annual fruit body of Ganoderma resinaceum

Might be Aurantiporus fossilis, did you manage to check the flesh and tube layer?
-
This species of fungi is indicative of an area of dysfunctional wood volume. It will not have caused the dysfunction, but will create a brown rot which will take advantage of the available dehydrated wood. The dysfunction is likely caused by an environmental factor producing a suboptimal condition for the tree to thrive. If that situation continues then the outer living shell of functional wood will diminish and not provide enough structural wood to withstand load and force which may end with whole or part tree failure.

Lovely Laetiporus example

Laetiporus sulphureus or Inonotus sp. ?
David Humphries replied to Treespasser's topic in Fungi Pictures
Laetiporus 👍
