Nice one Simon - the first three look like a long time lapse of a birch polypore (Piptoporus betulinus). http://www.mushroomexpert.com/piptoporus_betulinus.html
The next one is a little more tricky - Root Fomes (Heterobasidion annosum) is the right sort of shape, but the colour isn't quite right and the guide I've got says more common in coniferous wood, whereas that looks to be on birch. Another possible as is Inonotus radiatus or the giant polypore (Meripilus giganteus) perhaps?
Good pics though - will you be going back there at all?

Yeh the first ones are Piptoporus betulinus on Birch, the other is a Fomes fomentarius I think with younger ones growing on it. Again think this was on fallen Birch.
Don't think it's fomes... There's a whole bunch of weird brackets that are really hard to tell apart - but unless you're a serious mycologist, they're probably not interesting enough to make it worth the effort anyway.
I have a few pics to bung up if anyone's interested, some I know what they are and some (well OK, most) I don't.
This one was on the trunk of a monkey puzzle tree and taken on the 12/11/06.
Pretty sure I know this one.
I tend to take pics of all sorts and intend to identify them later, don't always get round to the identify part though.

Yes mate, that's exactly what it is; just don't leave it anywhere for a few hours and forget about it or you'll find out about the ink part in the name :yikes:
About how they are in your picture or earlier is just when I like to fry 'em and gobble 'em up!

Some shots of Velvet shanks all of the same species on probably the same willow tree

I'm not sure life gets much better, this for tea on a spectacular Autumn last day of October
