Nice one Simon - the first three look like a long time lapse of a birch polypore (Piptoporus betulinus). http://www.mushroomexpert.com/piptoporus_betulinus.html
The next one is a little more tricky - Root Fomes (Heterobasidion annosum) is the right sort of shape, but the colour isn't quite right and the guide I've got says more common in coniferous wood, whereas that looks to be on birch. Another possible as is Inonotus radiatus or the giant polypore (Meripilus giganteus) perhaps?
Good pics though - will you be going back there at all?
I love pics of Fungi, great stuff :bigok:
Maybe this should turn into a fungi pic thread :mexwave:

Yeh the first ones are Piptoporus betulinus on Birch, the other is a Fomes fomentarius I think with younger ones growing on it. Again think this was on fallen Birch.
A Fungi pic thread would be good if folk have em post em up.:)

Don't think it's fomes... There's a whole bunch of weird brackets that are really hard to tell apart - but unless you're a serious mycologist, they're probably not interesting enough to make it worth the effort anyway.

I have a few pics to bung up if anyone's interested, some I know what they are and some (well OK, most) I don't.
This one was on the trunk of a monkey puzzle tree and taken on the 12/11/06.
Pretty sure I know this one.

I tend to take pics of all sorts and intend to identify them later, don't always get round to the identify part though.
Nice pics looks like Armillaria growing on the dead wood of that wound.
These were growing on hawthorn 21/10/09 not looked yet what it is.

Hi! Great looking shots you’ve got here. You have made ordinary a bit extra ordinary. I spent a lot of time viewing your album. Exceptionally detailed close-ups and beautiful selections make them hard to say which one is the best. Thank you for sharing these with us.
