Mushroom 1 My guess: boletus fibrillosus
Pictures: pardon the crop job on the first one....!!



Habitat: Primarily young and 'medium' aged doug firs, hemlock (i think), cedar, and a lot of bear grass was around - Mt Hood area. mossy
Gills: Tubes. Some were clogged, and it appears young, i think maybe boletus fibrillosus? See pic, i believe those are hemlock cones?
Stem: real thick, maybe 2-2.5 inches in diameter at the middle.
Cap: brown. see pic.
Spore print color: i'm sorry i dont have that.
Bruising: sat at that spot after cutting it and the bottom of the stem did not appear to have any bruising.
Other information: very gurthy and the stipe was solid and meaty.
Mushroom 2 My guess: Sarcodon sp? potentially fuscoindicus but did not check for specific reactions to cutting.
Pictures:


Habitat: a lot of bear grass was around, mossy, i'm horrible at trees but in the general location there seemed to be cedar, fir, and hemlock.
Gills: spines
Stem: unsure, did not take pic.
Cap: very scaly, black, approximately 8-10" diameter. seems to wave/curl with age (slightly). spines were dark (maybe black), contrary to the photograph.
Spore print color: i'm sorry i dont have that.
Bruising: mushroom was left alone.
Other information: was growing right next to bear grass, near a downed log.
Mushroom 3 My guess: lactarius deliciosus var?
Pictures: sorry, only one pic.

Habitat: found several. all seemed to be very close to a stream next to/underneath downed logs with grass or reeds.
Gills: close together, pale orange.
Stem: orange with some slight color intensity variation. hollow.
Cap: small shallow dimple in cap, as can be seen in the cross section image - had a white layer of something on it that may have been like a skin, or pellicle possibly.
Spore print color: i'm sorry i dont have that.
Bruising: cutting the mushroom yielded a rapid color change, maybe even instant. however, it was not thick and did not leak out of the mushroom.
Other information: no other information.
Mushroom 4/5 My guess: Hericium abietis
Pictures: 4

5

Habitat: 4: on a downed/dead log. unsure of species. any input would be appreciated 5: same Gills: 4: Pom-Pom! 5: same
Stem: 4: appeared to have several stems - harvesting would release the overall fungus in 'segments' if you will 5: same
Cap: 4: Pom-pom! 5: same
Spore print color: i'm sorry i dont have that.
Bruising: none that i noticed.
Other information: the more dry areas of the fungus had a slight yellow hue to it.
Mushroom 6 My guess: no clue
Pictures:

Habitat: on the ground, commonly in moss. sometimes in/near bear grass. see pic for tree reference (if relevant) found what seems like several types: whitish/yellow, red, pink
Gills: none
Stem: some were very clustered and some felt more hydrated than others. the less hydrated specimens were quite brittle and would make a mess in the basket if not carried carefully.
Cap: i'm not very sure about a 'cap' but it seems one stem may carry a couple 'tips' - i'm so unfamiliar with these that i wouldn't know where to begin identifying.
Spore print color: i'm sorry i dont have that.
Bruising: none that i noticed.
Other information: i feel like these could be a good edible garnish - had a tolerable texture when chewed.
Mushroom 7 My guess: no clue
Pictures:


Habitat: on a tree - do not recall the state of the tree. i will guess it was alive still.
Gills: dark, if i recall.
Stem: grew in clumps, from pics you can see the stems are easily tattered.
Cap: brown, veil present. had little dots on them. darker in the center.
Spore print color: i'm sorry i dont have that.
Bruising: none that i noticed.
Other information: i wish i had more info on these. the veils were barely broke but they seemed to have a 'always rotting' essence to them, so i did not keep them - nor did i even know where to start with their edibility.
Mushroom 8 My guess: russula? no idea...
Pictures:

Habitat: close to a creek in some grassy/woody area - see pic
Gills: off-white - see pic
Stem: reddish hue
Cap: brilliantly red
Spore print color: i'm sorry i dont have that.
Bruising: none that i noticed.
Other information: did not smell fishy. i always assume mushrooms of brilliant colors, and of similar gill and proportions are russulas... is that a bad place to start?
ok lastly... i'm trying real hard to get better at trees.. is this a cedar? i figure cedars have stringy looking bark. i think today i learned that young doug firs have little sap patches that smell very citrus-y but as they age the bark gets thicker and broken up - is this true? i suppose i can always look at the cones but with several trees around it isn't always that easy... also, i have yet to sit and stare/compare needles so that is on my list to do but would like to manage until i get that far.

that is it for today. i will come back tomorrow with some hydnum repandum/umbilicatum verifications. as well as a couple boletes (one which has a brown velvetty cap -- ugh, i'll wait.
thank you all for taking the time to help! it is always a lot more work creating these posts than i think.

Compare to:
1. Boletus edulis (what looks different about them?) 2. Sarcodon fuscoindicus 3. Russula and Hypomyces maybe 4 & 5. http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Hericium_abietis.html 6. Don't know. Common coral fungi can be compared to here: http://www.mushroomexpert.com/clubscorals.html 7. Armillaria solidipes and The Largest Organism On Your Planet: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/strange-but-true-largest-organism-is-fungus/ 8. http://www.first-nature.com/fungi/russula-emetica.php 9. (Tree) Not sure

All are edible except maybe the Sarcodon is bitter and the Russula. Though the toxic Russulas might be edible if cooked. Sarcocon fuscoindicus is very valuable to people who like to dye fabric, and can also be used to change the color of dogs.
Your coral looks a bit like Ramaria rasilispora, though that is a spring species that I would not expect to see in the fall. Maybe it did not read the books.
I think the Lactarius deliciosus doesn't have Hypomyces and just has lots of spores.

upon further reading (mushroomexpert.com) it seems as though if it WERE hypomyces then that is the potential for a lobster mushroom if the host is russula/lactarius? very interesting.
thank you alan, and also thank you lightning!

Lobster mushrooms do not colonize Lactarius deliciosus group - the one that does that sometimes is Hypomyces lateritius.
