top three Ganoderma applanatum. Look up a member called Storm on the members list. He has done some fantistic articles his website is www.stoneageskills.com He has use it as hearth for a bow drill and hearth for a fire .I have drunk it made into coffee.

Next two ear fungus which are edible.

The bottom one because of the white rim and it is in large group I say it was Hirschioporus abietinus But I am proberly wrong. Alot of polypores form coals when burnt and give out high levels of heat
