Amanita muscaria (var. guessowii) This is the yellow-orange variant of the classic toadstool.
I've seen these small, bright red mushrooms around quite often but aren't sure what they are.
Thin gills.
A white coral fungus on dead wood. Wolsfeld Woods, Long Lake, MN.
A cluster of Jack-O-Lanterns (Omphalotus illudens). Their gills are bioluminescent, via symbiotic bacteria containing luciferin - the same hue as fireflies. I'm going to try to get a photo of it this year.
A beautiful bolete, and child.
Shag!
A Russula, probably.
