Mexico ID requests

I first found this in Michoacan in 2010, and have been looking for it ever since so I could scope it. It finally turned up in Oaxaca a couple months ago. Some have suggested a slime mold, but it's far too large for that, and when it dries the spore mass turns hard like a rock.
More details and micrographs here: http://mushroomobserver.org/115815
This one reminds me of Ramaria a little bit, but was growing directly from wood.
http://mushroomobserver.org/115813
It was suggested that this one was Marasmius rhyssophyllus, but the microscopic features don't match. http://mushroomobserver.org/114324
Perhaps some kind of Tricholomopsis? http://mushroomobserver.org/114451
My best guess at this point is Humaria, but I have no idea if that is correct. http://mushroomobserver.org/111177
Omphalina is just a wild guess for this one. http://mushroomobserver.org/114455
I am convinced this one is a Ripartites species, and I would like to know which one. http://mushroomobserver.org/115243
This one is interesting - Like Auriscalpium, but it grows on wood and has a much softer consistency.

Which Pseudofistulina species could this be? http://mushroomobserver.org/115297
A lignicolous candy cap: http://mushroomobserver.org/114656
A very tiny bright yellow mushroom on well decayed wood. http://mushroomobserver.org/79473
A red pored Bolete under Abies. http://mushroomobserver.org/111285
A really tiny Bolete found under Oak with orange pores. http://mushroomobserver.org/114322
No one has been able to ID this polypore, despite my putting it on MO several times. http://mushroomobserver.org/114326
An odd polypore, from Oaxaca. http://mushroomobserver.org/102867
I have seen this polypore in Oaxaca, Veracruz and Michoacan. http://mushroomobserver.org/103976
This one is rather distinctive looking. http://mushroomobserver.org/107506
A big, yellow....Clavaria? http://mushroomobserver.org/105949
And finally a few corts. If anyone can help with the section or possible species names, please do.

Brilliant as always! Could your Tricholomopsis be T. decora?

The stem is the wrong color for T. decora.
It went under Phylloporus for a couple years and even got added to Wikipedia under that name.

How was this growing and was the spore print white?
It somewhat resembles what is labelled as Trogia straminea here in Australia, to my knowledge that species only grows here however.
Here is the photo from my field guide as I seem unable to find one online:
Description:
"Caps to 30mm across, translucent-striate, usually deeply funnel shaped. The pale yellow-brown decurrent gills are cross-connected with shallow veins. A distinctive species found on dead wood in wet forest and rainforest. Spores not examined Spore print white."
There is a key for Trogia spp. here but it is based off of but it is based off of Australasian and Asian finds.

2. Ramaria stricta. 17. Clavulinopsis fusiformis. i still think 14. is really close to Pseudofistulina radicata.
amazing stuff Alan... i'll be investigating the rest tonight...
peace and love bloodworm
