Mushroom/Toadstool

I don't know what this fungus is. It is all round the base of one of our trees and I was a bit concerned it was Honey Fungus, Armillaria mellea but the discription in my mushroom field guide of the tree killer Honey Fungus is nothing like this photo. Any ideas?

Birch Polypore-Piptoporus betulinus

I was lucky to have my camera on me when I spotted this fantastic speciman of what I think is a Birch Polypore, unfortunately according to our mushroom field guide book it's not edible.

A Puff Ball

This puff ball took a little over a week to grow from a very small, one inch round ball to this alien monster! So far it's made soup, a casserole, a risotto and large amounts have been given away.
