Yet more fungi to dentify please

I took my 3 year old son out for a photographic fungi foray at the weekend and have made some tentative attempts at ID but I'm new to this so would like some help.

I've posted the photos on my weblog along with my attempts at ID so rather than post them here again if anyone can help, the photos can be seen here:
Fungi Photos and Identification » A Simple Life of Luxury

No doubt they are all pretty common so the experts here will be able to ID them in no time at all, but we all have to start somewhere!

Thanks,
Al.

Has anyone got any ideas?... My son keeps asking what each one of his photos are and I'm unable to give him any definitive answers.

Thanks.

As no one has come forward I will say
1 and 2 are Sulfur Tuft
3 looks like Xylaria polymorpha - Dead mans fingers - is it hard or soft
4 & 5 Mycena sp
6 Scleroderma citrinum
7 ?
8 Sulfur Tuft again

Excellent... Thanks for that...

Looks as though I got 1 and 6 right, and I'm surprised that 2 is the same as 1 as they looked quite different but I guess now that I look again they do have quite a few similarities too!

Number 3 was fairly hard, looking at the description I should have taken a look at the internal flesh to see what colour it was. I'll know next time..

Thanks.
Al.
