Dear Friends of Nature
Please eyeball me some of these recent finds and where possible identify. Hoping to build up a good fungi repertoire. I've left my id book elsewhere so am not able to offer many suggestions, nevertheless:
1. Whats the name for these flower shaped ones, is it trumpet... i think they are generally edible but need more homework:

2. Was hoping this was CHAGA! but am assuming its the common elephant dung, or is called st. alfreds cake, tinder fungus i understand:

3. Another CRIMSON wax cap I'm thinking:
 4. An interesting one! I found a bundle of Oyster Mushroom the other day and near by on the same dead log was this, looks kind of furry I'd guess its an edible too, am sure this one is in my book, got that kind of shaggy morral type look:  5. This too was on a neighbouring tree near teh Oysters an was thinking it was also an Oyster but on second examination it was not smooth on the surface and just seemed a but different, however I'd still guess judging by its stem that it is an Oyster: 6. Another trumpet type shroom but quite rotten seem better days - different colour tho:

7. What a little beauty this is, anyone know it?:
 8. Very interesting find here, they looked a bit of a brighter orange to the eye, ending up take a couple of specimens. Very slippery to hold, they got the psychedelic look/feel but none that I recognise. They actually blue'd up on the gills (and stem if i remember correctly!) a but later on. What are they? 9. Another interesting ORANGE find by its self...:

10. I'd guess another possible edible shaggy in appearance, i took these ones! probably half dried by now:

11. Devils Spit or what?

12. Thought this was interestingly white:
 13. Am stopping picking maggot food now, have not done much of it anyway but won't be doing much more either but just for the record this liberty cap had white gills, definity a liberty innit? it also blue'd has probably browned off now. There was also another whitish gilled liberty which got me thinking since they usually brown innit? Heres one:  And some seemed slightly pink/brown but I notice the younger ones seem to start of a lighter colour in their gills - there were one or two I wanted double checking, I know 13.c the one to the back is not a liberty - that became apparent after: 13.a 13.b 13.c 14: Well, I didn't have a clue when taking this photo but now I'm thinking are you thinking what I'm thinking? Destroyer?

15. Puffballs?

16: Polypore bracket still learning to distinguish between versicolor and lookalikes:

Made a spelling mistake, Armillaria not Armillia 
15. Does look like a group of puffballs (lycoperdon species)

Cheers again Cleetus, no worries about the spelling would have sussed it, not into corpral punishment here

Cheers Joie, a remarkably informative analyse of a long list and will all the latin names, very good! So there's only numbers 2 and 13 left to identify

Cheers Pyrolight, look like its a toss up between thomsonii and Umbeosus !!
Peace all, please feel free to make suggestions for those undetermined or where ID is uncertain
