Fungi ID catch up

I'm only just catching up with fungi identifying for early autumn. Can someone confirm the enclosed is porcelain fungi please? Growing on beech. Plus does it mean this tree is in trouble?

    Looks like a fine example of porcelain fungus to me. Yes the tree is doomed but it was anyway and the fungus is only taking advantage. It grows on dead and diseased beech.

    Thank you steephill. Such a shame as it's a mature tree.

    I visited my friend who has the huge pile of monkey puzzle log slices with grey oyster mushrooms growing on them today. Most of the fungi are way past their best but I did manage to salvage a few for soup. However, I noticed like a lilac slime growing on some and on another a growth of some sort. Can anyone confirm what they are please?
