Went out for a walk yesterday to check my laccaria spot and I was suprised to notice that there are still several species of mushrooms present out there this late in the year. My last hunt turned up only one species (mid november) yet here it is Dec and I am finding several.
There seems to be two species of laccarias that grow in one specific area. This species does not appear to be Amethystea. However [EDIT]:laccata is also edible and probably tastes the same as amethystea. Either way these specimens are in pretty bad shape, some look aged/dried.
My hunt got cut really short as the sun began to set, but today we are getting lots of rain and I have hopes of geading back out and finding some more hopefully fresher specimens.
Sorry about the poor indoors pic quality guys, I was forced to take the pics inside because it was dark out.

Here are some misc finds from yesterday:
EDIT: Fixed link.
I am unsure what type of fungus this is. It is jelly like and grows from what appears to be birch sticks and twigs:
Another shot of these, didnt get a chance to make a thumbnail:
