The second fungi is indeed a Puffbull type Ann but it might be too decayed to tell for sure.

The first one Ann is Polyporus leptocephalus.

The other unknown one An might be a Gymnopus type. I'll get back to you on that one.

Thank you for the ID on the first one, Dave. Yes I'd wondered if the Puffball was too decayed really and don't worry too much about the third one as I'm afraid my photos of that one were a bit rubbish.

I should be able to get a bit closer with the other one Ann, just depends whether it needed a spore print or not.

Thank you Dave. I may be able to persuade my Mum to get a spore print if required.

Sorry Dave, I missed seeing your last question. Yes it was growing on a fallen beech? tree, covered with moss. Not to worry, next time I'm walking there I'll have another look and see if I can get any better photos.

Just looking at another Rhodocollybia Ann, possibly associated with beech.

OK, thanks Dave. I might be going that way at the weekend so if it's not raining I'll try and get better photos (unless it succumbed to the snow).

:cool2: Ann. Hopefully it will still be there, i am intrigued as to what it is.

It's not a Rhodocollybia as far as i can work out Ann so that narrows it down.

Hi Jen

It looks more like Hairy Stereum ( Stereum hirsutum) to me.
