Amazing shots man! What ISO do you tend to shoot at in the woods? Crank it up to 1600?
Nope, I keep it at 100 if I'm able to set up a tripod at the scene. Otherwise crank it up as far as needed to get a reasonably sharp image, typically something from 400-1600, but 1600 is used a lot in such cases...no problem though, but don't expect as crisp images as with iso 100.

I just got a 30D for christmas and I'm still learning the damn thing. I need to get a new lens too. Any recommendations?
Depends on what kind of use and what budget you have in mind. Keep in mind that the 30d is a cropfactor camera, so e.g. a focal length of 24mm actually equals about 38mm on a 1.6 crop camera. Something in the 17-50/55 range is a nice range for general snapshooting and some mushroom photography (depending on what compositions you prefer). I hear Tamron has a nice offer in that range for a reasonable price. Canon has a superb IS lens in that range as well, but it'll cost ya.
If you want to get up close and personal with smaller mushrooms, you should better go for a dedicated macro lens or a set of extension tubes (check if they work with your lenses if you want to use them with any EF-S lenses!) The Tamron 90mm macro has been a good choice for any macro enthusiast; if you want slightly smoother and faster autofocus and slightly better image quality the Canon 100mm is a very good choice (but again, it's more expensive than the Tamron).
Essentially, there are hundreds of options, so it's best to get your requirements straight as to intended use, budget and any other restrictions such as weight (e.g. if you're going to hike a lot with your gear).
