Hi Bart,
Top one looks like Stereum hirsutum.

Hi

Could be. I'd need a much closer shot to say anything.

Second one I believe shows mushies just coming out, so they're still much too small for the characters to be observable. A photo of them a day or two later would perhaps solve the mystery.

The first one certainly looks to be Hairy Curtain Crust - Stereum hirsutum, a look at the underside would help to confirm, should be a yellowish to dull brown colour. On an aside S.hirsutum is apparently one of the most commonly recorded fungi in the UK.

Thank you for the help!

About the 2nd photo; I went back today and now they look like this:

Still too young I'm afraid ... maybe better at the weekend.

That goes for me too.

One funny thing about mushrooms is that they can stop growing if conditions become unfavourable. So you may still find them the same size even after a week, that is if they have not (started to) decay(ed). Some may resume growing if conditions become favourable again even after days.
