I don't know the names of any of them. But just looking at your mushroom photos here on my PC screen transports me to some favorite haunts (or makes me wonder where those gladey spots are that produced the mushrooms pictured) instead of the chilly view outside my actual window, and gives me heart that spring will return soon.
Thanks too for the mention of the Sippewissett: Or, Life on a Salt Marsh book I cannot wait to read it. As a raptor fan you might be interested in Soaring With Fidel by David Gessner who starts his madcap journey in Marthas Vineyard and the Cape.
Really though, my favoraite New England nature writer is David Carroll. Both his Year of the Turtle and Swampwalker's Journal are magnificent.
Yours,
