Here is the tree, such a wonderful sight
A new fungus to me is the Olive Oysterling, Sarcomyxa serotina. Not so commonly found some say, but enthusiasts seem to be able to find it OK.
Much of the tree was covered in fruiting bodies of Stereum rugosum
There was also Stereum hirsutm
There was some rather old Hypoxylon fragiforme, Beech Woodwart fruiting bodies possibly suggesting the tree had been down for a few years, as they are quite early colonisers. The stromata are quite globose, as with Hypoxylon howeanum, and the ostioles rather more prominent than in that species. The asexual form is just possibly present on a few of the apparently fresher stromata, Here they are, mixed with Oysterlings and more Stereum.
and some rather decrepit Apioperdon pyriforme, Stump Puffballs,
Also some Turkeytail, Trametes versicolor.
And lastly some slime mould fruiting aggregations:
