I thought these were three Porcini...
Sadly, only very rotten one on the left was. The other two are Cortinarius sp. with nearly identical caps.

Strangely Green Giant Puffball
Sorry for the bad photo, my dog was not cooperating when I was in the brush getting my photo.
I have never come across a puffball that is as green as this one. Not sure if others have seen this?

In mind-bending twist, ‘magic’ mushrooms evolved twice independently
https://www.science.org/content/article/mind-bending-twist-magic-mushrooms-evolved-twice-independentlyBy twisting the dials on key neurotransmitter systems in our brains, psychoactive compounds in a few kinds of mushrooms can provoke profound psychedelic experiences.

Hot damn, I think I got a three for one special
I'm only guessing here, but it looks like the large brown shroom is copper penny fungus. The orange cups are common eyelash, and the slimes could be many things.
