Miscellaneous xerampelinoids:

DUDE! You found a King Bolete! Your tall specimen is most likely a king, it is just very old looking and nasty. Your warty capped things are Amanita pantherina, most likely. Your white mystery is a Russula brevipes...and...there were some cortinarius down near the bottom.... what else? Can't remember...

BUT YOU FOUND A KING!!!
