Hi there, Gerry. I agree with the Birch Polypore.
Unfortunately, No.5 was found in deciduous woodland. Undoubtedly there are conifers in the area but not near this fungi. Also, I have looked at your
Gallery 'photo but yours seems a little different to mine; yours seems to be made up of several individual unjoined "spikes" whereas mine was several "joined" spikes. I agree that these are very difficult to identify.
Sorry, but I don't think that Xerula radicata is correct for No. 6 as in my books that fungi has a pronounced umbo in the centre and some markedly "stripey lined" marks on the cap and my fungi has a pronounced "dip" and no "stripey lined" marks on the cap.
