ISO a reputable mycologist

These are growing under our maple tree. I'd really like someone to tell me their edibility status. But I don't want just a guess, I want an absolutely positive, without-a-shade-of-a-doubt identification. Can we safely eat these for dinner? Or do we have to stop inviting babyfriends over to crawl in our yard?

tan-capped mushrooms

More photos in the comments.

The largest caps are maybe 5" across; the smaller ones are 2.5 or 3". I've never seen these in our yard before, but that side of the maple also dropped its leaves earlier than usual, so maybe the mushrooms are living on decaying roots.

What's this?
a slender autumn leaf
This is a common weed I've seen all my life, but this year I noticed that the autumn leaves are beautiful.

what's this?
a garter snake?
We thought it was a garter snake at first, but when we tried to get it to move (because it was in a soon-to-be-driven-upon driveway), it tried to attack [livejournal.com profile] majordomo's shoe.

what's this?

a plant with fuzzy purple striped leaves in a pot on a windowsill

a closer view of some of those leaves

And more importantly, what can I do to make it look happier? It looks oddly contorted and I want it to take up less space; will it root easily if I take a cutting?

Double Dynamo

Hey you guys! Especially you guys with iPhones and iPads! My brother has written a game almost* all by himself, and it's awesome, and as of today you can buy it from the iTunes app store. It's like DDR for your fingers, but prettier. It's only $.99! ...If you're still not sure, you can watch a trailer here.

(Oh, and can I play it on your phone? 'Cause it'll be a while before it's available for my Android.)

*Mike did everything except the soundtrack, which is by a different Mike.
