Medicinal Polypore ID help Please + Stinkhorn Egg!

Found these recently - I've been wanting to find medicinal polypores and make a super-tea!
Have lots of Birch Polypores but these ones i've found i can't identify due to ID books being in storage from moving - can you guys help me name them please? :-)
Number 1 - Found on a massive massive old willow tree...it has green coloured banding...is it Artists conk? (Although i couldn't write on the pores very well) The smaller piece on the left of the pic is a younger specimen.
Number 2 and 3 - i think are the same?...found on very rotten wooden stumps of presumed hardwood trees. Pores slightly dusky pink, easy to write on.
Stinkhorn egg found in a patch which grows an adundence of them every year! I didn't eat it...hawhaw
Also found some turkey tails in various conditions - when are they too far gone to harvest and dry out?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Probably Rigidoporus ulmarius for the first. The other brackets are Ganoderma applanatum.

Thanks for the suggestions :-)
R. Ulmarius has been shown to be good for anti-cancer properties...and the ganoderma is a wonderful medicinal! I'm so happy :-)
Most ganoderma have white spores underneath...mine are more of a pinky colour..is that due to aging?
