Fungi for Identification

I was in Marin County last week and saw many many varieties of mushroom popping up
after all the rain. These beautiful little shelves growing along with the green
tree moss were on a dead oak stump. Saw lots of those. The lower photos are of a
mushroom with pores, not gills, growing in a friend's yard here in town. Any
possible IDs on either of these? Sorry about the focus.

Semi-educated guesses - First one - Trametes (Turkey tail)
Second one - Unidentified mushroom parasitized by Hypomyces??
3 & 4 - possibly Suillus. These are generally associated with pines. Othewises Boletes.

My son loved to hunt chanterelles and your middle picture is definitely a chanterelle.

351980 has got it right! The middle pic is definitely not a chanterelle unless that is the shroom being parasitized.

OP here. The mushroom being parasitized was definitely not a chanterelle. It was very slimy and relatively soft to the touch. If I had tried to turn it over it would have broken apart. Color was not right, either. Nothing like a chanterelle Two bottom photos are same variety, pores on underside. After looking at them again and checking some Google images I think it's a kind of Suillus like the first commenter suggested, not a bolete.

Have always loved mushrooms just because of what they are and what they do!
