A Hashy Hunt: (strange Amanitas, LBM's to ponder, Boletes in odd places, and more...)

Hey guys! Went on a beautiful but hazy and wet hike this morning. It was 80 degrees with visible moisture and humidity in the air. Perfect for mushrooms, but AYE, nowhere for the sweat to go. Anyway, I went to this little patch of woods I know about (SHHHHH! its a secret) with absolutely crazy biodiversity, strange geology, odd native american artifacts, and LOTS of strange fungus. So here we go.
   Very cool Amanita. Never seen one like this before. It was covered in a peach-pink dust that rubbed away very easily. Growing directly under an oak, but there were mixed species all about. The veil slid down the stalk like a garter on some lady's leg.
   Some LBM's I thought resembled P. caerulipes a little. Gill color is wrong, no bruising evident. Awaiting spore print. Notice the fibril mycelium at the bases and also the little annular zone.
 ID?
   ID?
 Itty bitty Entoloma
  Ever see a bolete growing out of a rock?
Okay so now here's some fun. I found a lot of chantrelles, but in this habitat, they seem to make clear distinctions between species. The ones on the left I believe are regular chantrelles, which were growing up and out of the valley, not really near the river at all. On the right you have typical smooth chantrelles (the ones that are going ape shit in GA right now). I tend to see these right near water, or in areas where water flows hard after a rain. Also, they are on hillsides of valleys and hollows.
 Compare the white stems of the regular chants, and the yellow-orange stems of the smooth chants. Also gill structure, cap shape, etc.

1) Fuuuuck shit ass! You found Amanita roseitincta. Gotta find that before I die  
2) Interesting. Almost looks Pholiota(tina?)ish. Could be Inocybe or Cortinarius as well.
3) Earthstar; a Geastrum species
4) SPORE PRINT!!! That looks amazing. Could very well be one of the pulverulent Amanita in section Amanita. Habitat shots? You may want to post that one on Mushroom Observer.
Great finds dude

Wow thanks man! I didn't save #4... Dammit, i'll have to go back soon. Never got a print either. Idk why I didn't take it with me! I'm kicking myself now. I actually left it sitting on a rock! I know exactly where it is. Lol

Whaaaaat? Really? The spore print was plain ol' brown. Those are pretty funky Corts. Any idea on the species?

Hmmm no, but I've found LBM corts that don't look like corts, not that they are the same as yours, but remind me of it a little here and here, and this one I did't think was a cort when I found it.

Wow now I see how truly difficult LBM's can be... That's insane.
