Need help sorting wood

This here is some wood that's been drying for about 5 years now. Don't mind the hose. I don't remember where I cut it from since I took down a good portion of the trees here without paying them much notice. If anyone can help ID would be appreciated.

I'd normally say pine looking at it but I don't have pine around here. I have sugar maple which is drying in a different place and that's the normal go-to for burning. Normally I'd take the wood for either winter fireplace burning or for camp fires.

This is the unknown wood above. Here are a few more shots of it.

I have some ginko from a tree that died that I meant to eventually make into coasters but never got around to it. I doubt the one above is it but figure it may be mixed in. Doesn't look right quite like a ginko but not sure what else I could've thrown in there and kept without burning.

This one below I believe is the actual ginko if anyone can confirm. It could be sugar maple but doesn't look quite right. Once I get some stain I'll process it and see what comes up.

The ginko was a real shame to cut down but it was gone.

A closeup of the sugar maple leftovers (with a possible ginko mixed in) just for the hell of it:

The sugar maple is just branches that fell in various storms.
