I went this weekend near the Boise river with low expectations of finding mushrooms since the temperatures had been in the low 40's to mid 30's...it wasn't too bad. I found 4 species, one easy to identify, and 3 others, which I found them difficult.. They are not a lot of species present, so we could learn them all given enough time, and that has motivated me to include this post, click on the picture to zoom:

Flammulina Velutipes. Several clusters, about 80 total. Is a common find, but I though it was a good picture.

 

This one is about 3 cm wide, spore print ochre-brown. I think that it could be Tubaria furfuracea, sin T.heimalis.
It looks like Marasmius oreades, with darker gills.

Likely a Clitocybe related to C. albirhiza, smaller, white spore print, doesn't have rhizomorphs,

.

               Flat stipe, with some little white micelial threads, sticking to needles, leaves and humus. It grows in the middle of winter, I have seen it before. It has no smell, grows close to the path, near Juniper.

These are really small, the size of a penny.

White, they grow on wood, I didn't get enough samples, to figure it. 

Do you recognize any of them?
