Arcycria denudata possibly

Skeletocutis nivea sl perhaps
This seems a likely candidate because:
The pores are tiny and very close together, about 7 - 10 per mm. only just visible in the image
the crust is relatively thin, with pores probably less than 2 mm deep
The pores can be found very close to the edge of the hymenium
A very pale colour, only just lightly browning with age
The margins are turning up - just - in this case
So if you didn't look closely, this specimen could perhaps be confused on first view with either Byssomerulius corium or even Stereum rameale?
The correct name could perhaps be Skeletocutis semipileata or nemoralis, depending on which author you follow!
Sweet Chestnut
While looking at the Oriental Chestnut Leaf Galls, I came across upper side mines of Tischeria ekebadella, milky white, with frass ejected so not building up in the mine.
Calocera and Phlebia
Calocera cornea and possibly Calocera viscosa as well
This was growing on one of the logs placed as car park dividers, which I had thought to be Pine rather than a broadleaved such as Beech. Tentatively ID'd as Calocera cornea.

Crusts and Jellies by the Parish Boundary
Could this just possibly be Scytinostroma?? The general appearance, waxiness, thickness and combination of colours are good I think. Must go back to sniff it!
