Default great find

hi everyone,

i've been out camping in PA for a few days. i decided to take some time to look around and find some turning wood for once instead of buying it. my only thing is i need some help identifying the wood. so, if you have any input on what they are it would be most appreciated.

Here are some pictures:
this is what i found all together.


this is a piece of what i believe is spalted cherry, correct me if i am wrong


this is a close up of the believed to be cherry pieces. what does it look like to you pros?


i have no idea what this is. if anyone has any input it will be must appreciated.

Not cherry - looks more like beech. Cherry bark looks like a tree covered in blackish/gray cornflakes.
