First one is "Chicken of the Woods" and a nice young one, the other looks like the under side of "Beef Steak Mushroom". Is the second one red on top and cut red like meat? soak in milk for 2 or 3 hours.

If they are "Beef Steak Mushrooms" go for the small young ones.

GL as they mature they usually sort of fan out like this.

When young they sort of look like yellow phosphorus growth running out off a tree (Usually Oak or wild Cherry) in slow motion, If you get what I mean. Hope this is some help.

Found another "Hen of the Woods" today a better example of where it grows and how it looks growing. Its at the base of an Oak tree in a wood.

Arry, I would love to spend a few days out foraging with you and gain just a little of your knowledge on this.

[Arry 18,570]

I'm no expert mate just taught myself a few new ones each year. But if you wan't to come down Rabid your very welcome mate just pm me set up a date. Have to be soon for the fungi, as soon as it goes cold they will die of fast. There will be a run of "Hedgehog Mushrooms" and "Winter Chanterelles" very soon.

Cheers Arry

Nice little "Cep" growing on the stoney track through the woods today. A Good example of what looks like a net or network on the stalk. 

Went to a little spot for "Chanterelles" they are a lovely egg yoke yellow here, where as the ones I find near were I live are a much duller almost buff dull colour.

Growing in the leaf litter and moss under some Beech trees in a south facing wood.

Cheers Arry

Can't quite make out what they are. Have they all got like a sponge on the under side of the caps mate. The rusty coloured one in the middle in the last photo, pretty sure is a "Orange Birch Bolete" and others in the bag look like "Birch Boletes"(which look the same as the orange one but would have a brown cap, white sponge on the under side of the cap, but the same long stalk with like grey speckles). Get your Polish mate to show you they are good at it.
