Ramaria Stricta, I Would Say; Looks Extra-Terrestrial
That looks like a Calocera Viscosa (Stagshorn) which grows on wood, especially stumps, and has a rubbery texture (it's a jelly fungus). Ramaria tend to grow on the ground near beech and sometimes pine, often in fairy rings.

Hygrophoropsis Aurantiaca, False Cantharellus, Very Beautiful And Very Poisonous
The info on whether the false Cantharellus in poisonous is inconclusive, some sources say it can give you food poisoning while in many areas of the world the mushroom is eaten after proper treatment (i.e soaking for 3 days and then boiling for 15 min once or twice). That being said, it's not worth it to try and as a general rule, please don't eat, pick up or touch with bare hands the mushrooms you can't positively identify as edible.

Lobster Mushroom (Edible) Quebec, 🇨🇦
this mushroom is so cool, it is actually a parasite living on a small insignificant stump mushroom. The edible disease is really called dermatosis and smells and tastes like lobsters. The perfect substitute if you are allergic to shellfish!

Russulas are great because you usually find dozens in one spot, but the texture is not to my liking. I find a lot of quilted green russula in my area, but they're so crumbly haha. I hope you enjoyed!

This list was fantastic. So many shapes and colours and sizes. From the tiniest little hats to mushrooms so big they would feed a whole family. It also reminded me, that scientists say that the biggest living organism in the world is a mushroom. It is of the species of Armillaria ostoyae, and covers about 8,2 square kilometers and is supposed to be 2400 years old. Look it up if you don't believe me: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/strange-but-true-largest-organism-is-fungus/
