Hi Steve,
As the cap is not green this can not be Gliophorus viridis its more then likely Gliophorus lilacipes due to the pink cap. A look for cystidia on the gill edge would confirm this.

In the top center is also two earth stars Geastrum saccatum

I would not be surprised if this is Astraeus hygrometricus or Hygroscopic Earthstar. TFS

For an Id this is Leucocoprinus species probably a little on the old side. As to the species I dont know if I had found it localy to me (New Zealand) then it would be Leucocoprinus fragilissimus. TFS

I think this is more likely to be something from the Artomyces genus

I think this is likely Gliophorus lilacipes but as you say very difficult to name with out a microscope. Even the official description are so poor that they ofhen dont help :)

Now that’s a strange POV but having tried to photograph a fantail with its fan open I have to give you some credit even if it’s the but end!
I dont think it is ever easy to capture a nice image of the forest floor but you have done well here!
