Hi
I think photo 3 is Flamulina velutipes (and Jews ear)

Mal

[Jason Green]

...from that I take it the Jews' Ear is the red fungi, and Flamulina velutipes is the orange cluster-forming one, Malcolm?

[NickCantle]

Jew's Ear being the brown, downy fungus and as you say Flammulina velutipes being the orange cluster. I'd second those suggestions.

As for the first, are you sure it's not a stone?

You've got no hope for the second

[Jason Green]

Um... could the second be any part of a Piptoporus betulinus? See Kiff's:



...I'm talking about the little part sticking out of the stump in both, just with Yorkie Lad's lacking the big round bit on top in the above image, perhaps due to damage (I must apologise for the lack of mycological terminology... not experienced ).

yea it could be a young piptoporus in yorkie lad's second photo looks like some thing been eating it, the bigger bit on top of the small one in my photo is just a bigger piptoporus there was 3 next to each other all diffrent sizes

[NickCantle]

Piptoporus betulinus grows exclusively on Betula Considering that the host tree shown in number two looks like either Salix or Quercus, I very much doubt it

Seriously, forget 2
