Fungus

From back in 2010: what I think is the rosette form of Abortiporus biennis (= Heteroporus biennis).  Apparently this fungus is rather variable in form (see here and here).

White Jelly Fungus

What I think is Phlebia tremellosa.  It was growing on earth that had decaying wood embedded in it.
