ID Requests VA woods

After a very dry Virginia Spring I decided to go for a little hunt in the woods, and wouldn't you know the fungus is finally amongus. Have a few I would really like to get identified if anybody can help.
*Mycena Leaiana* This little red mushroom I find a lot, also in orange variety I'm not sure if it's the same genus though. Really curious to know what they are, they are always very small and grow in clusters.

No clue what this is, has a similar look as Hericium but I think it's something different. Interesting that the texture seems to change a bit.

Friend suggested this might be a Psathyrella species?


*Pluteus Cervinus - Deer Mushroom* So this one is a light brown cap, white shiny stem and white gills. Always found growing out of a log.

*Crepidotus crocophyllus* Sorry for the bad pics. This is a small oyster look-alike, though it doesn't grow in clusters and the color was white and light brown with an orange tint on the cap and gills.


Xerula Furfuracea

*Urnula Craterium*

Also found some Chanterelles, old oysters, mycena, and few other species. Was a decent hunting day.
Appreciate any help I can get, thanks.

your black trumpets look more like black cup fungus. pic #3 looks like a Psathyrella to me.

Wow thanks for pointing that out, actually now that I look at it they do look different from trumpets I've found. So I guess it's safe to say they are 'Urnula craterium'? Will add that to the list of IDed.

Hmmm I think I will have to go out in the woods tomorrow and get a closer look to confirm if it's a tulip or cup fungus. I honestly didn't get a good look at them because I just wrote them off as trumpets thinking they could be wide like that.
Could also be as you suggested the black cup - Plectania campylospora

Haha thanks Allan, I knew you would be around soon to set me straight. ;P You've helped me so much the past few years helping me get in to the game.
I will try my best to get better pics and description of number 2, it's quite interesting. And also try to find the genus of 3 and 5 and 6

Hey Alan I think number 5 is Crepidotus crocophyllus thanks alot for pointing me in the right direction. It's hard to tell from the pics, but it definitely has a yellow/orange tint on the gills and cap. And it has spots on the cap exactly like the pics on mushroomexpert. Thanks again.
