Beach Fungi

Some beach fungi from the beautiful panhandle beaches of FL. and one from the trash strewn allyway behind a Citgo station in Alabama... scary place man, scary place- and my 11 lb well-groomed shih tzu did not make me feel like I had alot of protection... but it was worth it, cool Xylaria (I think its X. hypoxylon but I'm not sure).
1. Russula, growing from sand literally meters from the beach:
    
2. Gloeophyllum sepiarium (I think):
  
3. Cladonia evansii Interesting lichen, these were all over the place, it was the first thing I took a picture of since I didn't really expect to actually find any mushrooms and I wanted to put this beach on MO, but then a little bit later I found a trusty Russula.
  
4. Drosera capillaris Strange swamp plant with habitat shot:
   
5. Asclepias tuberosa Painfully orange flower:

6. Xylaria from Alabama, I think X. hypoxylon?

I am pretty certain that is a Cladonia sp. (Reindeer lichen). Cool find.

As TriptoniK said, your strange swamp plant is a Drosera species. Maybe Round leafed sundew; a carnivorous plant. Your painfully orange flower is butterfly weed, a member of the milkweed family. Nice pics!

Aw hell yeah! I love those Drosera! One of my work sites has them and it's in the middle of a flippin' neighborhood. Cool stuff.
