Nice collection of fungi! Lobsters are one of my most favorite mushrooms. Every one looks different, it's like an Easter egg hunt. Your unidentified orange one, to me, looks like one of the Waxy Caps (in the Hygrophoraceae family). Here's to a great mushroom hunting season! :D

Cool thanks for the id i'll see if those grow in the area. I think @qwerrie found a waxy cap recently as well. Hope i can find some chicken this year.
I can't say that every Hygrophorus is edible, but here's some that I found and ate -- the Late Fall Waxy Cap mushroom, Hygrophorus hypothejus. Grandma's Cauliflower with Wild Waxy Cap Mushrooms.
Do they taste like a typical mushroom or do they have a unique taste...

They have a mild, traditional mushroom flavor, with a texture that is like the Straw mushrooms that are sold in a can.
I love getting straw mushrooms from the asian market here. Even better if i can get them wild though.
