& if it is sect. Roanokenses, can anyone say which species? Tried to capture it in photos, but It had a very shiny/leathery type cap.
Location: Dawsonville, Georgia, USA. Habitat: growing from the ground in a mixed forest, deciduous dominant.

Can anyone tell me which section, or which species? I'm leaning towards Roanokenses for the lack of hanging material around the cap. I'm thinking maybe* Amanita cokeri despite this per the pics in my guidebooks. Any help much appreciated. *also, the warts on the cap flake off very easily when touched, if that's helpful info to know, very loosely attatched.

I suspect Amanita sect Validae aff. citrina. Phalloideae also wouldn't surprise me, but am leaning away from it for the "sac"/bulb not having room within it/being more cothurnate, i think is the right word - please excuse and correct my terminology. If anyone can confirm or deny that would be much appreciated.
Location: Dawsonville, Georgia, USA. Habitat, growing from the decaying remnants of a pine log, and appearing to also be growing in nearby soil, in a mixed hardwood dominant forest.
I'm thinking Craterellus, maybe C. Ignicolor - but am not sure on this one, first time finding/ID'ing it. Hollow inside, visible in pic 3. Larger pic showing them also growing from the ground nearby in pic 4; top left are some pins.

Im pretty confident these are sect. Validae, but the cothurnate/cup look around the bulb is throwing me off. The smooth stipe makes me think not sect. Amanita though. Can anyone confirm or deny? & can anyone say which species? Also, sorry the in situ doesn't show the leaves raked away, I got all of the bulb for both of them though.
Location: Dawsonville, Georgia, USA. Habitat: growing from the base of what I believe to be a red oak tree.
I'm 99.999999% confident it's Bondarzewia berkeleyi, just wanting someone to take a second look & confirm or deny my ID. Brought it home, more pics available if needed. Also - if anyone has any recipes they'd like to share, I'm listening :)

I'm fairly certain its sect. Lepidella or Roanokenses, leaning way towards the former, & it being Amanita ravenelli but if anyone can confirm or correct me on any of the above, that would be appreciated greatly. In pic 3 I removed a section of veil so gills would be visible. Pic 4 shows size of what I couldn't dig out with my fingers.
First I made a stock with Meripilus sumstinei, then added water, & some Sauvignon Blanc. Cooked a pan full of Amanita amerirubescens/Amanita sect. Validae, and some Lactarius/Lactifluus til browned, then added wine and reduced, & added to the soup. Added 2 dehydrated habanero peppers, 2 bay leaves, a tablespoon of honey, several heaping tablespoons of minced garlic, a whole onion cut in half, salt, pepper, a handful of wild bergamot leaves, 1 can of peas, 1 can of corn, 2 cans of green beans, 2 cans of black beans, ~2 cups of dehydrated carrots, & a handful of cooked bacon pieces. Added a whole sparassis in the last 7 minutes of cooking & 3 cans of chicken meat in the last few minutes, & tossed in a bag of frozen sautéed Cantharellus at the end for good measure.
Neighbors cow. This one was chilling while the rest were freaking out and left the area. Tried to give pets & offer foliage, but she wasnt curious. Just curious if she was pregnant or just well fed; she seemed very healthy and round; udders visible in pics 2 & 3.
If anyone can confirm sect. Validae or correct me, it would be much appreciated - Im also curious as to what species these little guys are, if anyone happens to know. Very yellow around the bulb - I assume universal veil remnants? Very yellow annulus, comes off very easily. Been seeing a lot of these the last week or so, they seem to cap out about this size.

Can anyone please tell me if this section is correct, & what species it may be? I'm guessing A. Sect. Vaginatae aff. fulva
Location: Dawsonville, Georgia, USA. Habitat growing from the ground near a decayed stump, likely pine, hardwood dominant forest.
Location: Dawsonville, Georgia, USA. Habitat, growing from the ground in a hardwood dominant mixed forest with many beech trees & musclewood.
I believe this to be Hypomyces luteovirens parasitizing Lactarius subplinthogalus or a similar lactarius mushroom. Anyone able to confirm or deny?

If anyone can confirm or deny, I'd appreciate it. Pic 3 for size reference.

I suspect something within section Lepidella or Roanokenses but am unsure of what, & cant find an exact match. Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.
Location: Dawsonville, Georgia, USA. One of my favorite spiders. I'd love confirmation on what it is, & to know if I have correctly ID'd it.

I believe this may be Amanita spreta, but would like confirmation/denial from a more experienced set of eyes. First time finding it and trying to ID it, if it is such. The one closest to my hand, second from the left, is in situ in the first pic. Pic 2 is in situ as well.
Just wondering if anyone can confirm Entoloma, & if so, which species of Entoloma. Salmon/pinkish spores visible in pic 3 on the caps.
Location: Dawsonville, Georgia, USA. Habitat: mixed deciduous forest, growing near a beech tree, in soil, with a "mulch" of extremely decayed pine.
Edited to add: Entoloma strictius, mayhaps?
