From a few years back: puffball fungus Morganella pyriformis (= Lycoperdon pyriforme). This is the same species as the decayed specimens shown here.

Apparently the preferred name is again Lycoperdon pyriforme. See here.
From last summer: a 7-spot ladybird, Coccinella septempunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). See here for a photo of the larva of this species.
