Orange polypore is Pycnoporus cinnabarinus.

White polypore... maybe Trametes elegans. This types has tough flesh. The softer or more rubbery "White Cheese Polypore" (Tyromyces chioneus) has smaller pores than what I believe to see here.

Yellowish mushroom in the last photo is a False Morel. Probably either Gyromitra korfii or Discina brunnea (= Gyromitra brunnea). These two species can be difficult to tell apart. Brunnea usually has a distinctly saddle shaped form with fairly sharp creases along the cap surface. Korfii is usually more irregularly formed, and with a "stem" that merges with the cap in such a way that it may be difficult to tell where the stem ends and the cap begins. But I have seen specimens of G. korfii that were shaped a lot like the typical D. brunnea. There's a subtle difference in spore ornamentation for the two species --requires a microscope.

Thanks again for your input Dave .

I suspected that the last pic was some sort of gyromitra, but the orange polypore had me baffled ! Lol ! Never seen that before .

Just amazing what you will see and find, if you keep your eyes right . Love this stuff !
