That's how I identify Inocybaceae. ;)

You are completely right. I usually don't bother with them since I fear that they need sequencing. In this case it's quite easy, though. This species looks just like A. lividopallecens but has (sub-)globose spores instead of ellipsoid ones.

Are you sure? This looks like Dacrymyces to me, maybe sth like D. chrysospermus. Tremella mesenterica usually forms only one or two gelatinous blobs, not more than a handful smaller ones. Also, Tremella mesenterica is a mycoparasite, infecting Peniophora species, and I'm not seeing any Peniophora.

This is a species of genus Arrhenia. Very common moss symbionts/parasites.

There are a few globally distributed species in the Lycogala epidendrum complex which -- unfortunately -- make it impossible to ID those observations to species level without electron microscopy or genetic analysis. dx.doi.org/10.1127/nova...

those belong to genus Lachnum
Microscopy is required for species ID

This is a Sarcoscypha species, but microscopy would be needed to identify it up to species level. more information (links to north american species included): www.inaturalist.org/posts/90070-...
Sarcoscypha spp. in Europe
In late winter and early spring, beautiful red cup fungi of genus _Sarcoscypha_ can be found growing on fallen twigs and branches. In Europe, there are three possible species (four if you include _S. ...
