Hopefully I've got these two right (errrr perhaps) - fresh smoky bracket, bjerkandera adusta and a lycoperdon, which I easily get confused with (and earthballs) but this is Lycoperdon nigrescens, with short spines before they drop off, I think! 
Thanks all
Cheers
Ken

I forgot all about this one, yes I would agree Smokey Chapatti, sorry, Bracket for the first, but for the second I'm not too sure, I would have said Lycoperdon perlatum, but the spines do look to be on the dark side so you may be right.

Hello, could the second one be a mid cycle L. foetidum we found several on saturday and under magnification they clearly had Twin pairs of spines arching towards each other on the surface which were brown on the tips as these appear. As i understand it the fruit body starts fairly whitish against the spines and browns as a whole with age. The L. perlatum we found had short stubby spines that remains whitish until the fruit ages.
Did you smell it Ken?

Ok Mr embarrassed now knows that the new name for L. foetidum is L. nigrescens was it under pine?

The tips are a bit 'together' in some cases and show the pattern well when dropped off - and they are more small spines than warts - and it does seem right generally for nigrescens, so thanks a lot both of you. 
Cheers
Ken
