Question about fungi on fungi violence

I was picking boletes (I think these are Chestnut Boletes) today and noticed that one of the bigger ones was covered in white stuff on its pores. I also found a sulfur chicken that has white spottiness on it's underside. What is this and is it okay to eat any of these still? I imagine it's some sort of ascomycete fungus invader? The bigger caps seem so much grosser than the little ones, but can I just cut out the pores on the brown ones and the white shit on the one? And is the chicken okay? it was on a very small fallen tree so I didn't know if it would get any bigger than this, it is a little bit tougher than usual.

isn't your chicken just a waterlogged L. cincinnatus??? it looks as if it should dry to a white pore surface, being the cincinnatus species instead of the sulphurus species.
no idea on the boletes...just looks sorta dirty TBH.

was the chicken growing directly from wood/the trunk, or from the ground very near the base of the tree?

it was a fallen tree diaganol in the air, so it's possibly from the root but I don't think so. And it doesn't feel waterlogged, very dry.

ok, cool. i'm wrong about the cincinnatus/sulphurus thing, then.
the pore surface of the cincinnatus i find (which is more often than sulphurus)gets that darker look when i've washed them off...then they dry white.
i find cincinnatus all on root stock, never from the trunk, so i guess that confirms i was off on that waterlogged bit.
/backs my noobness from the thread.

No it was a good theory I went back and checked. Cutting into it seems rather maggoty which is unusual for a chicken. I'll probably just eat the baby boletes.

i sometimes take the harder/older bits of the Laetiporus i find, put them in the stock pot with an actual chicken carcass, make a shroomy chicken stock, then discard the bones and fungus when the stock is done. a crockpot works well for this. simmer for 24-36 hours on very low heat but just high enough to be out of the danger zone; about 175 degrees F.
(freeze the resulting stock) then this winter you can make the best chicken and dumplings soup you've ever tasted.
it's just a thought...sometimes i'm way too anal about not wasting any flora and fauna i've harvested.

I still have about 1/3 of this bad boy in my freezer 

That's a good idea for stock I will try it out.
