I posted this originally in the Hunting forum hoping for an ID Can anyone here help? The one I cant ID are below

I took a walk out in the forrest today to see what was out there after all the extreme weather we have been having in SW WA. We had three days of + or -20 degree weather. Then we had the monster flood and then we had an inch or two of snow. I expected to see nothing. I was hoping to find a few truffles. Here are a few pics of what I did find.

Well the yellow/orange are chantrelle's, the black trumpets are, well black trumpets or horn of plenty (Craterellus cornucopioides), not sure about the really black one, looks like a cup fungus only with a stalk, I was thinking wood ear, but I dont think they have stalks. Not sure on the purple one either.
Looks like a damn fine mushroom hunt though, never had the black trumpets myself, book says they are delicious though.

I hope you picked just the 25% of every cluster or patch

I certainly picked under 40% of them. Why does that matter, and how does the 25% come into play? I generally cut with scissors the largest most mature specimens and I allow the smaller ones to reach full maturity and then I ultimately pick those also.

Great, you're a bemushroomed 
Stamets suggest a 25% of aged fruitbodies.
However..i can't understand a thing: if Ice House Shaman goes to the woods and picks the 40% of fruitbodies of a patch, than I go to the same patch and I pick the 40% of ht same patch, then another bemushroomed will pick another 40%..at the end in the patch will remain 1 only mushroom! How to prevent this?
I've alway thought to create some signs in plastic, that can be recyclated, to put in the apposite patch where you write something like: "40% of the mushrooms picked, move your butts away, you'll be luck next flush" + the date.
What do you think about it? In this way with more mushrooms will be more mushrooms in future, and mushrooms for everybody, not hurting to the natural ecosystem of the wood.

Trust me.... I am with you .... I agree..... I would love to see that level of respect. I have no need for that here.
No one else is picking in my patches. I live where no one else does... No one.
No one.

is over picking really a problem? as long as you wait till the mushroom is fully mature most of the spores will have dropped. If you don't pick them an animal will surely eat them instead, which i guess would be a good way to spread spores, other than that i don't see the downfall.

I believe overpicking , especially not aged mushrooms, is a problem. Perhaps the woods cannot supply all the mushrooms we'd like to pick..

I think you may have Sarcosoma latahense http://mgd.nacse.org/fsl/survey/blackCupsKey.htm
