The first observation is of moss, which falls under the iconic taxa of plants. It was growing on near the roots of a tree, none of it was growing on the grass.
The mushroom that I saw falls under Fungi. I found it growing in a fairly shady area by a tree.
The third observation might be a Dark-eyed Junco, it falls under the taxa of birds. It was located by McCone at the time.
