Tons of Oregon Fungus

Hello MH&I. I apologize in advance for the shitty camera, maybe one day I'll get a nice one with macro. Anyway I went out on an overnight camping trip tuesday and took some pictures of the plethora of fungi I found.
I'm going to work on guessing their IDs when I wake up tomorrow (Must sleep, AM therapy appointment). Though is that an old Reishi mushroom on the log, 6th up from bottom?

Pic #14 is most likely Fomitopsis pinicola

#7 is likely to be Craterellus tubaeformis or close. #'s 3,4 and 5 appear to be Russula sp.

Gonoderma tsuage and Gonoderma oregonense are predominantly found in Douglas fir and hemlock forests. Look for piles of blow downs that have been down for a year or two. I do not know if Gonoderma lucidum has ever been collected in the wild in America.
I apologize I meant Gonoderma instead of Fomitopsis. I went ahead and edited the above.

Haha I'll be the first to admit to my ignorance on mushrooms and falling prey to the Reishi hopefulness. But hey as long as nobody puts too much faith in their opinion, there's nothing wrong with a hypothesis. Reishi was the closest thing I'd heard of 
I'm fine with it though, I didn't take any samples or anything. Just for funs.
The two I'm currently looking up are the red russula and the white funnel just below the fake reishi. I wish I could find more than one of the latter. Oh well.
Thanks, Dodeski and others. Now I know one more thing that ISNT a lyngzhi, and that Fomitopsis pinicola can be used as tinder. The things you learn lol.

The red Russula may be R. xerampelina and the white R. brevipes.

F. pinicola apparently has medicinal qualities, you can make tea of it. Clean it up and slice it IMMEDIATELY when you get it home, then dry it fairly quickly, but not in the oven if you can avoid it, <115 is best, plenty of ventilation is good, even a fan blowing directly on these, which i don't like for the dust factor on edibles, usually.
Then you can break it up into chunks or put it thru a coffee grinder to brew. I will warn you that the grinder method will make a huge pile of fluff. LOL. Now THAT's good tinder.
Of course you can make some tea from fresh... But don't leave the whole freakin' conk sitting around, they don't look it so much but they are fragile and like any shroom begin to rot quickly.
Sometimes I don't take stuff 'cuz I just do not feel like dealing with it immediately. I almost rejected the last gift of crab 'cuz I didn't want to be out at midnight dealing with getting them cooked. But I did and I wasn't too sorry. ;-)
General, sir, the red belted is not really shiny like reishi is, capiche? Look for the varnishy sheen, man!
-------------------- "Shrub, 30-90 cm. Leaves 2.5-) 4-9 cm, sessile or amplexicaul, broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, obtuse or rounded to subapiculate or subacute, when crushed not smelling of goats." "The initial quake was a 6.6 but fairly shallow. I felt it as a prolonged up and down vibration followed by a jolt forward and then to the left, like square dancing."
