Help with a few ID's

[monkey boy]

Sorry about the angle on some of the pics. So guys I'm stuck on a few ID's for plants, trees and fungi.
Thank you in advance for your help

This tree doesn't seem to be in any of my books

Here's some fungi also, I'm new to this topic and would love to know more.

Here are some plants
I think this is heather but need it confirmed

Not sure about these two tho

And finally is this yew?

 

[Mesquite]

Second fungi is a turkey tail and the suspect yew is a yew

 

[monkey boy]

Awesome at least I got the yew

 

[slowworm]

The top tree looks like a type of horse chestnut - there are quite a few with smooth cases.

The pine under the heather looks like a Scots Pine and the plant under that a rhododendron.

I think the first fungi is honey fungus

Top tree Walnut ?

 

[nuggets]

gets my vote for walnut tree

 

[Ivan...]

Can't help with fungi, but top one looks like fig, about third to last is juvenile scots pine, then rhododendron then yew

Ivan...

 

[ozzy1977]

First one isn't walnut, I think Ivan's got it with fig, the fruits are that sort of shape.

 

[slowworm]

The leaves are wrong for walnut (they should be pinnate) and wrong for fig, figs are also borne between leaves on a stem, not on long stalks and I would expect the tree to be more bush rather than having a main stem.

Not sure if it's walnut or fig, could it be an ornamental chestnut, they have a few that come with smooth outer cases and the leaves look right. How big was the tree?

Walnut would get my vote, (it definatly isnt a fig i think) however, as said, the leaves are not pinnate, but orther than that they look identical so im stumped (pun intended, sorry ), sorry but im not a fungi person at all. The plant you say is a heather, i couldnt bring myself to say it is one it just doenst look right to me, they plants in the background are definatly heathers, either Calluna vulgaris, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calluna) or an Erica species, but i think its just me, though i would say it looks more like an Erica sp. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erica), but im open to persuasion lol. then the next big picture of a tree is some form of pine (Pinus), i darnt say which one as they are difficult to identify exactly i find without the thing in front of me, the little one next is a rhododoendron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhododendron_ponticum) as its likely the introduced species. and the one you think is a yew is exactly right, its a yew for sure, likely Taxus baccata, or the english yew. hope this helps

The Heather could be 'Ling' ?

 

[monkey boy]

Guys this has bean very helpful thank you all, the first tree was the size of a chesnut tree if that helps

 

[Matt42]

I think the leaves look too small to be ling, (http://www.newforestnpa.gov.uk/info/20090/wildlife/180/heathland_plants/5) which leaves one other of the two Erica sp. , either the cross leaved one or the bell heather. id go with the bell heather, i think its most similar (http://wildplants.wordpress.com/category/bell-heather/) but counting the number leaves per whorl is apparently the way to go http://scottishwildlifetrust.org.uk/visit/wildlife/b/bell-heather/ and http://scottishwildlifetrust.org.uk/visit/wildlife/c/cross-leaved-heath/

Yes I think you're right.

 

[Matt42]

Yes I think you're right.

We got there in the end lol. Though i cant find anything for the first tree.

If you waited till it was in leaf and broke a bit off and took it to your local garden centre they should have someone able to ID it for you. though im guessing it is deciduous so id only do that if no one comes up with anything on here lol

I wouldn't suggest snapping bits off just to id and I'm not sure a garden centre would be able to help. If it's a horse chestnut you can look at the buds in spring (are they typical horse chestnut sticky buds) and wait for the flowers which will be the best way to get an accurate id. If you're curious for a quick id then look for shells/nuts underneath the tree.

If it's a fig there should be small embryo figs on it near the tips of the branches and I would expect some old adult figs on such a large tree. If it's a walnut again their should be some old nuts or shells about and the leaves in spring will be highly scented if you gently rub them.
