Helvella compressa if hairy underside, Helvella elastica if smooth

first species has a smooth underside, so Helvella elastica, "the brown elf saddle," fitting
second the little black things, marcopus or villosa either way some "small inedible cup fungi"
lastly, a inocybe, not to be eaten either, still look very cool in the sun, sort of golden...
Thanks again, thanks a million... Where can I go to learn all this, college or something?
Mushrooms & Fungus of the Pacific NW.. With shroomery, that book and wikipedia, I should be getting the identities pretty close.. Cheers

Nope. You can learn all this buy hanging around here, reading, trying to ID mushrooms on your own (with multiple other opinions of course), and using the search functionm in the top right corner of this page/website

I'm pretty good at ID'ing things at this point, and although I have started going to mycological society meetings pretty recently, the vast majority of my learning was from hunting by myself/mushrooms demystified/this forum.

the Helvlla macropus/villosa may actually be H. chinensis, a species I just heard of

Well you can learn as much as me by bumming around on here and stalking the experts. I knew nothing when I joined here and now I know nothing plus one.

The way I learned was by trying to identify what I find, either using internet resources or books or scientific journals. This forum is also a great place to learn.

The ID's I am most confident with are mushrooms that I have found and succesfully ID'd. Viewing others finds on sites like this helps a lot also though, especially with the great knowledge base that is here.

I feel like I've increased my knowledge a bit since last autumn and I have me a nice field guide now, too, so I'm looking forward to the mushroom season coming round again so that I can see how much I've learnt.

Yeah I think you need a title upgrade tbh, I've noticed you have become a lot more versatile and confident with your ID's. 
I need to get myself a field guide I think it would help immensly, ordered "A field guide to Australian fungi" but the bookshop rang and told me they couldn't get it. Few places have it online though.

Stem: hollow, tan/light brown, average 4-5 cm tall, .5cm wide Spore print: not really brown... more of purple/black... been printing for 20 minutes or so.. Bruising: N/A
