To try and id your pics... The first might be a Coprinus species, and the second is a bracket fungus. Unfortunately there is a lot more to fungus identification than i can do from a photograph. Guessing is not good, if you want to eat something, or indeed just to know what it is. I need to smell it, taste it (perhaps), and see a specimen in three stages of growth (would be helpful), after that i might still be stumped, in which case i shall need a mycologist with a microscope. Then i might stand half a chance. Further,,,even when i have a good mycologist and a microscope, he will only be able to tell me about spore sizes, and spore characteristics. Then,,, to be absolutely certain, i shall have to go to a geneticist, in a laboratory for my final confirmation. Taxonomy, or naming the life around us, is getting to be a bit tedious these days. PS,,, butterflies are less hassle, but this aberration thing could get complicated. So, 'Might be a Coprinus, and 'This is a bracket' are all i'm commiting to.
