Couple ID's and some lions mane (many images)

Found all these in northern ID. Everything was found on conifer. I should have brought more back but I wasn't set up too well and my bag was too small. Not the best ID request, but I am mostly wanting to confirm the first Ganoderma is medicinal and which species it is and if those are in fact Armillaria. I didn't grab one of the suspect Armarillia so I can't print to see if it is white. Hopefully that doesn't matter too much. Thanks guys.
Specimen A Pretty sure this is one of the medicinal Ganoderma. 1.

Specimen B The spores hid the color and I thought these were also the first type but now I think they might be appalatum or something. I tried to wipe off the spores but still couldn't see the color well. 1.

2.

A+B (A left B right) 1.

2.

Species C 1.

2.

3.

Species D Armillaria?
1.

2.

3.

Just showing off some lions mane. Recipes would be cool if anyone has any good ones. I have more than I could ever eat. I will probably dry most of them for supplements. Also any good way to clean these? They are hard to pick without getting dirty those spines just attract debris.

Where are you located? The lions mane looks like it could be either Hericium abietis or Hericium americanum. The Ganodemas will depend on where you are located.

Both Ganodermas will be medicinal.

Looks on point with your ganoderma suspicions, artists always seem more stepped and dont deteriorate as quickly as the others. Not sure on the others.

One of them is in the Ganoderma applanatum group, the other has a red coloration uncharacteristic of G.applanatum group.

If growing from hemlock in the north it is G.tsugae, if growing from pine in the south it may be G.meredithiae. To cinfirm we would need to see a cross section showing the internal flesh.

Thanks for the ID help. I'm in northern Idaho. I'm not sure what kind of tree they were growing off, very well could have been hemlock. I didn't think that the artists conk was medicinal? Are you sure enough about the armillaria for me to eat them?
Thanks again guys 
Edit. Also I will be sure to put up a cross section in the morning.

I am guessing the top Ganoderma is G.tsugae, and will have a light flesh, the others will have dark flesh.

I didn't keep the suspect applanatum.
Here is the flesh of the tsugae?
Is the whole thing medicinal or should I just cut out the white flesh? I guess I could look that up.

Yep that is Ganoderma tsugae The whole thing is medicinal, looks to be in decent shape no insect damage. Ganoderma applanatum is medicinal as well.

If someone else could confirm that's an Armillaria that would be great. Would like at least another confirm so I can eat some. Are there any lookalikes to be aware of? I'd start a new thread but I'm on my phone. Thanks.
