no idea about the mushrooms, but I can tell you that you have a mad-dog external harddrive enclosure that looks exactly like mine. The main question is if it is IDE or SATA. Take a spore print

Well try to figure some things out for your self using the shroomery faq http://www.shroomery.org/forums/faq2.php and http://www.shroomery.org/forums/search.php... But you basicly lay it down on black or white paper or tin foil...

Please read the Mushroom Hunting Forum Rules before posting:
II. Accurate mushroom descriptions
It is critical that you describe mushrooms fully and accurately in order to get a proper identification.
A good picture of the mushrooms is invaluable, but not required. Along with the pictures YOU ARE REQUIRED to provide the following data:
* Habitat (where [woods, pasture, state,province,country, altitude] and what [soil, dung, wood (dead, living, what kind of wood?)] does it grow on) * Characteristics of the gills (color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc) * Characteristics of the stem (length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc) * Characteristics of the cap (diameter,color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc) * Spore print color (very important!) * Color that the mushroom bruises * Scent of the mushroom * Anything else you might find important
For a template ID request please see this thread.
For more detailed guidelines for describing your finds, please view this document.
For an explanation of mycological terms please refer to this document .
That said, I'll give these a shot.
#1 and #2 are Xerula, perhaps X. radicata or X. furfuracea.
#3 Might be a Psathyrella species... Alan rockefeller and I were both finding these, seperately, and could not identify them. We then went on a hunt and found them and attempted to identify them once more, but despite our efforts, we could not find a match.
#4 Might be Lyophyllum decastes.
#5, #6, and #7 are either Clitocybe nuda, "Blewit", a good edible species with a buff to light pink coloured spore print, or they are a look-a-like Cortinarius species, which may be poisonous, though they have rusty brown spores instead of buff, as with Blewits.
#8 is either a Coprinellus or a Psathyrella.... If it turns to gooey ink stuff, it is a Coprinellus.
Not sure about 9, need more info.

I agree that 5,6 and 7 are Clitocybe nuda, as long as the spore print is correct. On number 7, you would most likely be able to see a cortina if it were a Cortinarius species, as that is a young specimen.
There is also a perfumy smell that they have, which I would assume Cortinarius don't have.
If the spore print turns out buff (whitish), pick a few and cook them up with some scrambled eggs or saute them. Really good eats.

I would not describe the colour "buff" as "whitish"...
It's more like one of these two colours:
