ID confirmation, please...

ID confirmation or otherwise, that is!
All found yesterday in Standish Woods, Gloucestershire, a more or less typical Cotswold Beechwood with some Ash, Birch and Larch mixed in.

I think this first one is Velvet Shank - Flammulina velutipes, albeit a rather dry specimen, growing on a very rotten stump, probably of Ash.




This was on a beech log and I think it's Beech Blackspot - Diatrype disciformis?




This was on a fallen branch and I decided (with the aid of Jordan) that it might be Beech Tarspot - Biscogniauxia nummularia?



I'm probably way out but at least I tried!
Thanks in anticipation for your help.
