Pop quiz! ID the following.

I did not take any spore prints, unfortunately. These were taken last week during a walk in the woods. The mushrooms were all left behind.

1) On dead wood. Trumpet shaped. Base of mushroom where it is attached to the wood has white, fuzzy mould looking ring. Size 5cm or below in height, less than 5cm for diameter of the cap.

Gilled mushrooms in first two photos... I don't know the species for these. They do look a bit old, so maybe the color is not representative of the typical fom. Maybe an Omphalina species?

Yellowish/brownish polypores with the dark centers are very likely Polyporus badius.

Tiny mushrooms on the log...? Photo a bit out of focus and the mushrooms are very small, which maks it difficult to observe detailed characters. Maybe Mycena?

Shelf mushroom are probably a type of polypore. Need more info --for instance, a photo of the undersides- to make a guess. Maybe Daedaleopsis or Lenzites? There are other possibilities.

White polypores are probably White Cheese Polypore.
