Northern Ireland Fungi for ID

[jdoherty]

As the title suggests I took all of these pics in N.Ireland. The first three have similarities in my opinion but the fourth (about 15 cms wide) was quite different. I touched it, thinking it was hard, only to reveal a white custard type substance. All were growing on dead or fallen trees. I hope someone can provide IDs.

Thanks, John.

The last one sound and looks like a slime mould
Enteridium lycoperdon comes to mind.

Cheers J.P.

your first three all look like Trametes versicolor --common name, turkey tail, they are a very variable species, often with different variations on the same stump,

no idea as to your last one though,

Hi John

As JP suggests, your last one is Enteridium lycoperdon and is very common especially at this time of year.

Many thanks everyone for your help with these IDs. I'm amazed that the Turkey Tail is so variable in colour.
