    That is a chili on the left. Hard to say about little guy in center. Ummm, all that green stuff? --- looks like you need some snails.

    Boy, that does look like a mushroom...probably some kind of Sarcophyton Coral...probably just needs light to grow.

    Coral on the left looks like a kenya tree or a colt coral. The smaller one looks like some type of leather but until it grows a bit, it's hard for me to tell.
