RECENT FORAGE
I had thought these were Turkey's Tail, but on second guess, there's not enough colour etc, so I guess its Tinder Bracket (Ganorderma applanatum)....
1. 1a. 1b. 
I'm not sure about this, very flat slippy cap, am thinking Ochre Russulu...
2. 2.a 
Had thought this was a bracket but slipped the camera underneath for a shot has revealed it not, or is it? I guess it could still be classed a bracket since the stem seems fixed to the wood etc... Russula atropurpuria...
3. 3a. 
Think these are Glittering Ink Cap (coprinus micacius)...
4. 
Definitely Piptoporus betulinus innit....
5. 
Shots have not turned out well but some small fragile pretty fairy like caps very distinctive, possibly snow fungi ink cap but i don't think so
6. 6a. 
We got there in the end, it was this that led to the discover of all the others! Fly Agaric - i've got few related questions. Is the blusher aka amanita rubascens considered an active equal to that of fly agaric... the seems to be no risks associated with its consumption other than it can be mistaken for Panther cap...
7. 
Same specimen as above, tough to wash off, maybe if I'd have done sooner, anyhow I got spores from it, does anyone know the best way to preserve spores, and how they can be used to inoculate, also what are some good substrates to use for agaric mycelium, and also for Liberty Cap Spores:
8. 9. 
Finally, can anyone ID these worms, Larvi, pupi etc? They came out of the Liberty caps, which presented an ethical dilemma for me, maybe half of what i picked were free of them, is there a way to know which caps are carrying before picking? What type of insect/fly do they turn into....
10. 
Many Thanks

2a Paxillus
3a Tricholomopsis rutilans Russula don't grow on trees/wood 
6a Marasmius species similar to M. rotula Your Amanita is the muscaria variety, it is safe to consume in the proper preparation.

I think your first could still be in Trametes

I forgot about these three!!
I think the first two may be the same: Tinder Fungus (Phellinus ignarius)...
1. 1a. 
My best guess on this one is Agarius Silvaticus although I'm sure its not...
2. 
Many Thanks

Very pretty Fomes fomentarius and Leccinum cyaneobasileucum arguably var. brunneogriseolum. Your Amanita is A. muscaria. I believe your larvae are some kind of fungus gnat. (Thank you PsyMindz.)

Cheers Joie, interesting reading up on this, the old ice man had a bit of this and bit of that, but no psychedelics by the sound of it!
The fungus gnats, very highly evolved terrestrials, those babies can glow in the dark they can withstand freezing, i think when people start respecting them more and eating them less maybe we'll evolve accordingly - which will be helpful if we ever migrate to Neptune!

 Stratiolaelaps scimitus – A.k.a Fungus Gnat Predators will help you to Detect/Search & Kill fungus gnat larvae On sight hahaha
-------------------- Before assuming that any wild mushroom is edible, it should be identified. Accurate determination and proper identification of a species is the only safe way to ensure edibility, and the only safeguard against possible accident. Some mushrooms that are edible for most people can cause allergic reactions in some individuals, and old or improperly stored specimens can cause food poisoning
