Silky Piggyback Mushroom
I blogged about the powdery piggyback mushroom here. These photos are of the silky piggyback mushroom - it is similarly parasitic on russules, but doesn't have the strange spore generating tissue of its powdery brethren.

Bleeding Bonnet
This is Mycena haematopus, one of the bleeding bonnetcaps - snap the stem and they exude a dark red liquid. I recently saw them in a list of bioluminescent fungi - but I have yet to go out at night and see.
