That should bring the fungi out: this is Coprinus comatus, or Lawyers Wig. Edible and good (and they were).

Moths are still coming to light in small numbers. This appears to be November Moth - Epirrita dilutata, but I'd better put an agg. on that to be on the safe side.

This is also a new species to me: Frosted Orange - Gortyna flavago.
