Never encountered the first one myself there Walt, have no idea what it is.

The second I have seen quite a bit around here, had a few samples at one time and the third more than likey is the "Dog Vomit" Fuligo septica. Never seen on before myself as I can recall but from what I have read, they can get quite large and even envade ones home or cover an entire yard almost.
