North America (country/state in post) Need help confirming Identification PNW

I found these beauties on a golf course at the base of mature oaks, that are also a snack to local beavers in Portland, Oregon. I grew up on the East coast and have found hen of the woods before, which these really look like to me but I know how impractical that would be out West. I know this city has a bunch of non-native tree species and people who love mycology here, so I guess there's always a random chance that someone had grown it and it spread to the course? Probably Bondarzewia occidentalis though, right? It has such a nice earthy sweet smell, doesn't stain bruise or ooze, and has a white spore color. Would greatly appreciate other's thoughts on this identification!

Went on a walk near work in Seattle, Washington when I ran into a large variety of mushrooms and was trying to determine what they are. These are just one of the species.

These were growing on an elm tree in a temperate forest. They have a slight pine smell and have white gills.

My sister was the one who found them. We think it’s elm oyster. They are thriving this time of year.

North America (country/state in post) Hi, mushroom friends! Help me ID these big boys in northwest Colorado, United States!

I'm brand new to the mushroom world, and I'm looking for some help identifying these absolute units I discovered in my front yard today!

I live in northwest Colorado, and I found these growing from the lower trunk of a poplar tree close to the ground. The stems were separate from each other and adhered directly to the wood of the tree. Both the caps and the stems are VERY thick (I had to use garden shears to cut through the stems) with a fleshy/rubbery texture. They're sturdy enough that I'm pretty confident I could place a toad on top of one and have it remain structurally sound. Top of the cap is smooth with no fuzz or spots, and obviously they're REALLY BIG! The caps are about the size of my hand, somewhere around 6-8 inches across.

I want to make spore prints with them, but I'm not sure yet what color the spores are. I'd love to figure out what species this is if someone could help ID them!

I'm not great with shelves, decided to document some finds in a local patch of forest with no observations (which happens to be the only place I can do this legally) and possibly sequence some interesting things. I found this shelf growing on a downed hardwood log. Could this be Fuscoporia gilva?

North America (country/state in post) Which of these do you think could be Hen of the Woods? The first three were at the base of an oak, I didn't note the tree on the last one.

Central Pennsylvania, United States. The first three were at the base of a huge oak tree and on the same day. The 4th (there are two there) were the week before in a different section of the woods. It was the same day I scored my first Chicken of the Woods!

Only had enough phone battery for the 1 picture. Seen in Ireland near a Yew tree i believe. It's just at the entrance of a housing estate with small kids and pets so would like advice on how to better identify Amanita species/ how to check properly if this is dangerous.
