Mostly Mushrooms

I had a doctor's appointment this morning. It happened to be right across the street from the Tualatin Hills Nature Park. The weather was beautiful and I couldn't resist taking a walk though the park. I found a ton of interesting mushrooms and various little critters. I wish I knew more about mushrooms. I'm sure some of these are tasty and some would probably kill me, but I have no idea which are which.

The mushroom ID book says that Mycena means mushroom in Greek.

To identify the particular species you'd have to look at this one under a microscope.
