These 12-15 cm plants were found near a small pond. They remind me of tiny evergreen trees, and were growing in a patch about 4-5 feet across.
These flowers were found on two shrubs growing next to each other.
These large shrubs/small trees bear very small fruit resembling apples. The long spines on the branches earned them the name "Thorn Apples" when we were kids. The flowers don't smell pleasant.

This looks much like an oxeye daisy, but is very low to the ground and with different leaves. It's quite common in this area.
Red (or variant greenish-yellow) upright petals centered in three unmottled or faintly mottled leaves. Found in several square meters of a moist area.
White violet with pinkish-purple on the back of the petals.
Tall stems topped with 1 cm yellow flowers. The leaves are up to about 4 cm long, deeply cut, with rounded serrations on the edges.
These fungi can grow quite large. They smell like watermelon rind, or cucumbers. They're also called Pheasant Backs, because of the feathery pattern the scales make.
