It's hard to see on the pics, but they look like a type of mould. Most of those aren't poisonous, but they're not edible, either. As you've got the actual funghi, might be an idea to check out this website. There's an identification guide (based on location as well as genus etc). Good luck!

Visual Fungi - Fungi in the genus Agaricus

don't worry about them, I get them on some of my beds that haven't seen the sunshine over winter. Hoe them off. It's some kind of cap fungi

These are cup funghi from the Peziza family. They will occasionally grow on manured ground and some species produce the cups in March as a herald to Spring. As far as I know they are not harmful.

just a tip, I hope it doesn't come across as patronising. On your digi camera there should be a tulip icon for close ups. It will give you good clear unfuzzy photos

Can it be used for all close ups......not just tulips?
