Some brackets needing ID help

[JennyS]

I thought I'd better ask for help for these from earlier in the year before photographing too many new ones!
The three bracket fungi below were photographed in January in mixed woodland. Tree species included Holly, Oak, Birch and Hazel but I've no record of what the fungi were on.

Q1



Q2



Q3



Q4. Photographed in January on a cowpat



Q5. Photographed in February. It was in a very shady rock overhang in mixed deciduous and coniferous woodland - weird looking beastie!



Q6. Photographed by a friend in July.


Thank you in advance for IDs for these, it'll probably be a few more days before my book arrives and I can begin making uneducated ID attempts!

Hi Jenny
2 is stereum hirsutum
4/ orangey disc lookslike cheilymenia stercorea, 5/ funny brain similar to gyromitra esculenta, last one is a coprinus spp, maybe lagopus, (see my thread on similar today!)
No doubt proper ID's will arive!
Cheers

could Q1 be Trametes versicolor?

(that is just a suggestion, i'm very new to fungi)

[diggleken]

3/ might be postia caesia (or whatever its called these days) - it blues like that when mature.
1 could well be the trametes squishy suggets.
Cheers

Postia caesia produces much thicker brackets. This one looks more like a Trametes.

1 & 2 are probably both Trametes versicolor
3 Stereum sp. (Stereum have no pores on the hymenial surface)
4 Coprobia granulata
5 No Idea (Probably mis-formed growth of something)
6 Parasola sp. (Previously included under Copinus) P.plicatus is common

With the colour of the upper surface my money would be on Stereum hirsutum for number 2.

But the brackets in the photos of number 3 clearly have pores so it isn't a Stereum. Try enlarging the photo if you can't see them.

Hi,

my guess for Q6 would be Coprinus lagopus:
Hasenpfote (Coprinus lagopus)

Thank you to all of you for your IDs and suggestions for these, and I'm sorry they weren't better photos with clearer details.
