Fungi on western red cedar

So I’m pretty astonished to find fruiting bodies on 2 cedars on the same property

green canopies, some butt rot. Any ideas ?

Fungi #1: Growing out of root buttress

Looks like an Armillaria to me. I'd start with A. ostoyae. Sorry, messing up font size.
A key diagnostic character for the genus is the presence of scattered brown or black hairs on the upper surface of the cap. I think I see them in the image. Not densely hairy, just sparse, scattered hairs.
 
I'm not finding much for Fungi #2 ... it appears similar in a lot of ways to ostoyae and other species ... they seem to present in many different shapes and forms but was distinctly different on site. Much larger stem diameter relative to overall mushroom height, more stout
