ID Anyone?

The orange thing on the left is a type of non photosynthetic anemone. They go by different names (Corynactis, ball anemone, etc). They are harmless, tend to stay in the shade, and are pretty neat. They're a good hitchhiker.

The other thing does look to be a baby mushroom. Probably a discosoma of some sort. It's a bit difficult to tell because it is so tiny though.

Thanks NirvanaFan! That anemone is on the underside of that rock in the shade just as you described. Is there any way to remove the mushroom from the stalk and put it on another piece of rock without permanently harming both of them?
 
google mushroom fragging. I'm sure you can see videos on youtube also. I prefer to use bridal veil (called Thule I think), with a rubber band.
