okay now onto some fungi I found!
this first one I found growing on an unidentified log, I couldn't tell what kind it was. I even looked around for alive similarities to help me identify the log, but no luck.
The second I spotted this fungus, I immediately thought of the turkey tail fungus, also known as Trametes versicolor. so I suppose that's the best place to start.
I took the true turkey tail test on http://www.mushroomexpert.com/trametes_versicolor.html and the hypothesis seems to stand. Also I tried to do a pore test on a piece of white paper and nothing showed up, the pores of turkey tail are white, another characteristic. Interesting facts about the turkey tail fungus:
a good diagram for the many uses of the turkey tail is at http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uH8JDRwUtr0/ScJtCUFI5cI/AAAAAAAAAfA/qqfGGFxRJj0/s1600-h/Trametes+versicolor.jpg
