Looking for pics of unsual/strange/bizarre mushrooms

Hi gang. I am going to deliver a short speech regarding mushrooms and fungi for school. The speech will be informative, and I'm planning to use a few visual aids. On a large poster board, I'm going to glue photos of mushrooms and fungi, simply to illustrate the many different forms that mushrooms and fungi can take. The purpose is not to do a scientific breakdown, but rather to put up pictures of as many bizarre or unusual-looking mushrooms I can find--to show the huge range that there is.
So my question to all of you is if you can think of some specific species that are rare, and/or have a particularly odd appearance? It shouldn't be too hard, since I consider most species other than the garden cap-and-stem variety to look pretty strange. Also, if you have any pictures of huge shrooms (including cap-and-stem,) those are welcome. I've seen a few in the past that showed a toddler playing next to an enormous shroom, and they were great.
If you can think of something, thanks! I need at least the name, so I can find a picture of it. If you happen to have a link to a picture, or you've saved one yourself and can share it (no black-and-white,) that's even better.
5 for everyone who contributes something worthwhile! (and that I can find a picture of)
Thanks very much, - J.

Clathrus Ruber, or the "Red Cage Fungus"
Clathrus Archeri, or "Devil's fingers" 
Lycoperdon Echinatum, or "hedgehog puffball" 
Astraeus Hygrometricus, or "Barometer Earth Star"
Geastrum Striatum, or "Striated Earth Star"
Good luck on your presentation.

And, sorry, I forgot about this little number:
Hygrocybe Psittacina, or "Parrot Mushroom"

Wow. I am flabbergasted. All those photos remind me of why I love mushrooms and fungi in the first place. They truly are unique and fascinating organisms. This has been incredibly helpful. Thanks, guys. 
P.S. Have those green guys been edited at all, SleepAid? They're stunning.

This has turned into a great photo thread guys!
 A Slime Mold
 A Coprinus species
 Bird's Nest Fungi
socialnorm77, those round ones you never figured out are probably Rhizopogons, a type of false truffle.
Happy mushrooming!
