| | | Craterellus Cornucopioides???
I went walking today in the Dales and I came across what appeared to me as Pleurotus Cornucopiae (at first sight) which I've already found in other locations this year but upon inspecting them they seemed a bit too smooth on the underside (and without gills)...
Could these be: Craterellus Cornucopioides? The colour is lighter than what I see in pictures.

Hi MH
These are certainly not either of the two species you have mentioned.
Beause the hymenium is lacking gills, I think it's most likely that they are a Polyporus of some kind (maybe P.durus?). The immature hymenium (underside  ) can be quite smooth before developing pores....
Cheers, Nick.

Pleurotus Cornucopiae was stuck in my mind because that is what I was looking for and hoping to find today, at first I was seeing what I wanted to see but then looking closer I saw the next thing I wanted to see! |

Hi
Unfortunately seeing what one wants to see is general weakness in mankind that we all can experience in many aspects of life:
I would agree with Nick, the general shape and look say's Polyporus
