Habitat:

In the peripheral garden surrounding the visitor center, Mingo National Wildlife Refuge. Surrounding habitat: a small area of glade backed by upland oak-hickory forest.

Notes:

"It also appears that you have a couple of Bird's Nest Fungi in the lower, right corner of the second and third pictures." - user Doren B. /----------/
Of the family Nidulariaceae. Unfortunately if I zoom in on these small structures in the images, they are out of focus so there's no use creating a separate spotting.

Looks like one of the mushrooms of the coprinoid family, but I am confused by the squat nature of it. It also appears that you have a couple of Bird's Nest Fungi in the lower, right corner of the second and third pictures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nidulariaceae
