back yard exploded with mushrooms this weekend

[chrisnh]

i'm in southern NH and it's been hot and humid with showers twice a day.
this is some of what i've seen today. i know nothing about IDing, so if anyone has info please chime in. i know i didn't take pics the right way to identify or have any prints etc. just wanted some cool pics of them and decided later to put them up here.

1. cool blue one i've never seen before. 2 is it's underside

3 and 4 are the same one, just cool looking i thought

5 seems common enough, but none the less interesting

6 and 7 again nothing special

8 coolest stem of the bunch i think

9 is that the infamous cobweb, growing outside?

10 really liked this one for some reason

Not sure if that's cobweb mold or not, but that's a nice picture!

Nice pics chris. I have been wandering around my yard
and woods here lately after work, (you know: relax, burn
down and enjoy nature during summer) flipping through
my Mushrooms Demystified book learning about what I
naturally have in the backyard. If I can find my old digital
camera I'll post some pics of my yard if y'all don't mind.

I'm thinking it's pythium blight. I have it all over my backyard.
It seems to thrive when it's hot and humid with a bit of
consistent rain. I work in a little farm and garden shop and
have sold several bottles of fungicide to people trying to
hold it back. I tell ya, a lawn can get pretty expensive,
that is why I have a yard!

Looks like "Spanish Moss" a little. I'm sure it's probably not, but it kinda looks like it. What does the base of the 3rd and fourth picture look like? Dig you dig it up from way under the bottom so it didn't break off? Or is the second picture the same one?

That last one might be Amanita rubescens. Some more pics would help.

The first one is the first blue Russula I have ever seen.

The middle ones are some kind of Amanita, maybe in section Leipdella. Next time you find an Amanita dig down below the base of the stem and carefully remove the whole stem from the ground so we can see all the features.

haven't checked since, but got a ton of rain today, so i'll be out tomorrow checking. thanks for everyone's compliments on the pics, first time ever taking pics of mushrooms in the wild, could get addictive.
