 Mogollon Rim, AZ Hunt

Took a road trip through the Mogollon Rim area in Arizona yesterday and stopped at a nice meadow to eat lunch and walk around.
Then it dawned on me....I should look for mushrooms! See I live in Phoenix so mushroom hunting is pretty much out of the question usually.
So here are the sweet fungi I found on my first hunt:
Here's the habitat. Temp was maybe 80F and it had to have rained a day or two before I was there, as the ground was moist in many places.
This thing was really firm and stuck on the wood really well. I don't think I could have pulled it off without breaking it up.
There were a bunch of little brown mushrooms everywhere, growing in little patches.
Oh these things were pretty sweet!
And....what it this? Could it be??
Yes! Amanita Muscaria!!
I looked for more for about an hour after finding this one. There were no more in the area 
Hope you enjoyed

Wow you're good =0)
Thanks for the IDs. Didn't think the pics/descriptions were good enough to get much IDing done.
Not sure about that bolete. I don't know anything about mushrooms other than Cubensis, so I had no idea I could taste it. Reticulation? No idea..

Reticulation is net-like patterns running up the stem.
