The only thing I have looked at is the Forthy porecrust (Oxyporus latemarginatus). It’s definitely this, spores correct and matches description (but not photo!)
in Resupinates of Hampshire. If you google it you’ll see lots of similar pictures. Interestingly the other flat fruiting body next to it (that looked like an Antrodia)
was the same thing - and looked more like the photos in Resupinates of Hampshire. Obviously a fungus that has different forms of growth.

Thanks for that Anne - I looked at Resupinates of Hampshire last night and like you thought the ‘other bit’ of crust was a dead ringer for the image in RoH for
Oxyporus latemarginatus – & it left me completely puzzled as to what the ‘main bit’ of crust was! Tony (M)

I took a piece of the Russula cyanoxantha/parazurea (Charcoal Burner / Powdery Brittlegill) home.
These two can be split on spore ornamentation & spore print colour (& reaction to FeSO4 which I don’t have). It was Russula parazurea.
