Tinder fungus carried by Otzi for lighting fire

Seen today in Burleigh Woods, the Tinder Fungus.  Apparently good for lighting fire, it was found on Otzi the Ice man (see earlier post).  It is otherwise known as the Hoof fungus for obvious reasons.  The fruiting body has annual rings.  This one was seen on a Silver Birch. Fomes  fomentarius 


This looks like a Turkeytail, but a very pretty colour.  Trametes versicolor


Although this looks like Trametes, I think it might be Daedaleopsis confragosa 

I have no idea what this pitch black Barack fungi is.  Suggestions welcome.
