"Fairy ring" with mushrooms.
Brown-gilled mushroom with a slightly scaly stem and dark brown spores.
An interesting observation--there were mushrooms popping up all over the golf course.
It was as if all the mycelia sensed the downed trees and rushed into sporulation.
"Spread and grow, our little spore-children. Plentiful food!"

A white blobby, cauliflower-ish mushroom on a log.
Here are a couple of fungi we found that I have no idea what they are. The yellow one might be Dog Vomit slime. Any help would be appreciated.

In one patch of rotting logs and soil, there was the same type of mushrooms in various states of development.
I think they might be Scaly Inky Caps (Coprinopsis variegata).
