Ah! The College Valley! One of my hunting grounds back when I was a student. Nice to see this reminder.

1. Looks like dried out Witch's Butter, Tremella mesenterica.
2. Hypholoma capnoides - presumably on a conifer stump under the grass - a relative of Sulphur Tuft.
3. As Hattyview has suggested, Jew's Ear, Auricularia auricula-judae.

Thanks for the I.D.'s I have a Fungi book somewhere but cannot find it ,having said that it is a rather complex one, all are latin names and many look identical, I had an idea what the two outer ones where but they looked different in the open setting,The middle group seemed to be in a small ditch but they could have been on a small log or something.
