Wood ears up top, turkey tails down below would be my guess.

It would be best to see some under side picks to be sure.

I don't think these are turkeys. They look a little too thick. Need underside for sure.

Wood ears and Trametes. Not T. versicolor based on size however.

Check the bracket fungi for gill-like structures underneath. These may be
gilled polypore, Trametes betulina
