White polypore in southern France?

Right now I’m in southern France. Seeing these fungi for the first time. Unfortunately I don’t have my books/equipment with me, so no chance for me to get an ID … Does anybody want to venture a guess of what they are? Growing right beneath a Pittosporum sp.

Please add your favourite shops for gourmet and medicinal spawn, spores, liquid cultures, supplies ... especially interested in finding Cordyceps and heat-resistant strains.

I saw this on the side of the road next to a tree. It was pretty big and quite an unusual shape! There was a smaller one just behind it. I've never seen a fungus like this so thought I'd snap a pic.

Usualy we do not gather alikes. Anyway, probably unedible, not sure and didn't researched, left them as they are but liked the place.

Saw this community pop up on my feed and remembered these neat little guys that popped up in my yard a couple months back so I thought I'd share.

I was pretty sad when the guy who mows our lawn murdered them. They were pretty big! Seemed to practically pop up overnight too!

His girth is substantial.

Edit; The community seems to be really gone, here is a new one! /c/foraging

Title is really the question, I swear the Foraging community was more or less thriving the other week I checked it. What happened to it? Did it merge with this one or?

Found in Eastern Ohio. Not sure what type of tree it is, but there's lots of maple, oak, and black walnut around. There's also something dropping a cherry-like fruit (chokecherry?).

Here's a picture of the underside:

Edit: it wouldn't let me post the other picture, so I'll try doing it in a comment

The pine needles are falling here. The oak leaves are just starting as well.

Find of the day for me: Pholiota squarrosa

Three rather huge clusters directly below a Picea abies. Just in time for #FungiFriday !

I had never seen this kind before. Some more shots below.

Edit: Ugh, how can I rotate the first photo below? Jerboa posted it upside down.

This is the same stump as the sprouting Mycelium.

Here is the same mushroom from my last post but 3 days later and photographed from the other side.

I feels like a rock with a rubbery coating.

It seems to be growing what looks like roots?

It doesn't seem like it's dying off, rather it seems to be growing stronger.

It's growing under a pear tree, maybe it's feeding off of dead roots?

I'm thinking maybe a ganoderma?

Here is a closeup and one from the same angle as my last post:

Edit: Here it is 3 days ago:

A large find for me: Sarcodon imbricatus

This one was around 20cm in diameter and stood out quite a bit. The spores on the other hand are comparably tiny... (Scale bar in micrograph is 25µm).

Mushrooms are the reproductive organs, after all...

Nvm. These are wooly oak galls. I tried deleting the post, but Jerboa won't let me. Mods, you can remove if you want.

Does anyone have any idea what this is?

I thought it was a moldy pear (it's under a pear and apple tree, next to some sage and valerian), but it's hardish and attached to the ground.
