1st is an old blushing bracket. (learnt not to write "definitely")

[NickCantle]

Or perhaps leave the thread with more questions than answers I keep finding myself entering a thread, answering one question and then asking 10 more

hi

for what its worth I think the first one is very like Inonotus radiatus . . . seems to have a hint of that lovely sheen - was it on Alder by any chance?

the second one is a Mycena indeed - that purplish sheen on the stem and the cap colour are reminiscent of M. arcangeliana (= M. oortiana of older books)

Definitely a contender Chris. The substrate would help to ascertain what we're looking at. I think this looks rather like an old Oak, but I'm probably wrong!

Of course if you can pop back and apply a little thumb pressure on the pores- wait 5 mins and see if it goes nice and rosy, you're likely to have D. confragosa.

blushing bracket - a common name that actually helps ID!

Nice questioning Chris, and it looks like it's bagged you the ID. That's how to do it
