Cambodia Find - Help Me Identify

Visiting Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia I came across these bad boys and think that they might be reishi and turkey tail. I'm interested in making a tincture health extraction both boiling and 100% proof. Before I proceed with that I was hoping to get some feedback on the identity for the following: A, B, and C. 1403276943_110518_DSC0466copy.thumb.jpg.c8d73d155b6ceab1df88ed761147af66.jpg

Tropical types of polypores are often different from the types found in temperate regions.

I think the ones seen that have the thin stipe (B) are possibly a species of Amauroderma   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amauroderma . 

Does C also have a stipe? If C was laterally attached to wood (no stipe), then it's possible this represents a species of Trametes. I don't know much about the global distribution of T. versicolor (Turkey Tail). But, it's likely that C represents some other species... and possibly not even a species of Trametes. If C had a stipe, then I'd say it's maybe the same as B, or a similar species. 

A looks like possibly a species of Ganoderma, but probably not one of the types found in temperate climate. Actually, there are tropical types of "varnished conks" that are placed in genera different than Ganoderma. Probably a species of some genus placed in the family Ganodermataceae https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganodermataceae

The color scheme, shape, and growth habit all match very well with what I've been able to find about T. cingulata online . The one photo of C is well focused on a particular area of the underside, and it looks like this area features very small --but observable-- pore openings, which is a trait associated with genus Trametes.

There are a few observations labeled as Trametes cingulata on Mushroom Observer. The MO observations are all from South Africa. This does not necessarily mean the species is absent in Cambodia. But it does mean that questions regarding global distribution arise. No idea about the research/knowledge of the distribution of Trametes cingulata.
