Hey, I went for a walk in my local woods to see how mushroom season is going and came across a few different types.
I posted a thread a week or so ago asking what this was:

Little did I realise that this was actually the start of something bigger:


This mushroom has a white porous underside. It's flesh is quite tough. I couldn't pull a spore print from this unfortunately, but if anybody has any clues I would like to know.
This isn't a mushroom, but it's not very often you find one of these and there quite cool to look at anyway! It's called star mould, and it fruits yellow for 2-3 days of the year. Medieval folk believed that this was where a shooting star had hit the ground, hence the name.

This little fella is the one I am confused about. I picked the biggest mushroom in this picture:
 Which is the same type of mushrooms as these:


 This mushroom gave me a jet black spore print. It's cap was around 2cm wide and was mainly yellow, with brown gills. The stem was pale and around 5cm long. When the mushroom had dried after I took the spore print it turned a brownish colour, reminded me of dry Pan. Foes.
Other regular stuff is about like this:
 I see this everywhere, but still not sure what it is. A good indicator that the woods will soon be full of fungi is the all to common jelly ear, which was nice to see for the first time since last year:
 I heard you could eat some types of the jelly ear fungus, has anybody tried this and is it worthwhile?
Thanks everybody, Charles.

I want to say your first polypore there is a Hen of the Woods, but its not. It resembles them however. Your "unknown" mushroom is a Psathyrella species I believe. Sorry I can't help more. I suck with polypores.
