Comments:
Cortinarius species, most likely in the Cortinarius speciosissimus group. The literature does not mention these mushrooms occurring in spring. The Cortinarius speciosissimus group contains some of the deadliest fungi known, and they can take as long of 4 weeks to cause death if consumed. Photographed at Box Butte Reservoir, about 25 miles south of Chadron, Nebraska on May 8, 2017.

is anyone able to identify this wildflower?--it appears to be of the hawkbit family but is much more orange than the usual
it may of course be a garden escapee which has naturalised
the previous picture shows it's location and context
Have an inquiry in @ BugGuide.net for help with ID.

This view llustrate well how clear felling conifers can bring about habitat change. The left hand side of the rive was felled in around 1999/2000 and allowed to regenerate and then most of the conifer was removed in 207. The right hand side of the picture was clear felled in 2008. So from clear fell mess to new woodland take around 10 years. Whilst this is a long time in human terms in the scale of this landscape it is just a blink of the eye.
The appropriately named Wrap-around Spider (Dolophones species), a native. I only saw this brilliantly camouflaged spider because it moved slightly when I bumped the branch. On a Forest Red Gum in Rifle Range paddock, Dungog Common
These seem very similar to Thrixspermum to me. The flower that is blooming right now is not resupinate, but I think that's just an accident of how the flower opened when it was laying horizontally in my house for 2 days before i finally got around to remounting it onto the treefern. The flowers are short lived, but like the Thrixspermums, the inflorescence produces a series of sequentially opening flowers. In one of the pictures the bud of the next flower developing can be seen above the position of the open flower (I will tag it in the photo). Unlike the Thrixspermum species I have seen, the labellum is not hairy or papillose. From my experience, these seem to do well mounted with at least a little bit of sphagnum moss around the roots and watered daily. I'm hoping that the treefern mount I just put it on will encourage more vigorous growth.
