Identifying Plants and Wild Flowers

I have been attempting to identify many of the interesting plants and flowers that grow wild in the foothills where we live. I have photographed them and listed them here as best as I could. I think I have gotten most of them correct, but there are a few that I am questioning or don't know much about. Any help is appreciated! There are a few odd plants, and more and more springing up as the weather gets warmer up here. There are also some interesting wild mushrooms. I know nothing about them, but they are equally fascinating to me.
