Bread Roll Fungus

From a couple of years back: a strange fungus which looks like bread rolls.  At first, I thought might be a puffball or a pale Daldinia but now I think is probably a bracket fungus, in particular, a young form of Ganoderma sp.  See here and here for similar images.

Orange Crust Fungus

An orange crust fungus, probably rosy crust fungus Peniophora incarnata, growing on the end of a log.  While taking the photo I didn't notice the brown slime-mould like growth on the right-hand side.
