Tree identification

Gosh, once you start looking there's so many different types of trees, and a lot of them are confusingly similar to the untrained eye. Whilst out with a private guiding client I took some photographs of trees (and a few other things) and have attempted to name a few, if you can confirm or correct me please add a comment at the bottom.

Look carefully...there's a speedy dragon fly in this photograph

Holly

No idea of the type of tree but the bark and branches are interesting

Maple

Pine or fir (we saw both)

Rowan

Spruce 

An old tree stump...

...which we used to age the former tree to be about 125 years old

unknown tree...?

Variegated Holly

Yew or Redwood?

lastly, a cluster of mushrooms - any clue as to what sort?
