How can I make the mushroom (RDNA freebie) look like it is a part of the ground? E.G. having leaves over the mushroom base. I have access to photoshop, but I do not know where to begin. Are there any tutorials out there on general postwork?

Well you can very well take images of leaves and such and make a precise selection of them and then paste those leaves on a layer seperate from the mushroom. Also there is an option of using brushes if you want or if you are better at Photoshop you can always paint them. -LeFrog

I'll have to give that a try. I suppose since it's close to spring here... I could take a few pics of leaves in the positions I want them in. :) Or figure out how to use brushes. How about shadows? Airbrush and opacity? Or should I use the burn tool?

Well using the airbrush may not be so good, but it can work i would change the blend mode and lower the opacity a bit. And for the images (if you use them) you must make a precise selection before pasting, as not to have it look like pasted on clip art, it must blend in with the image. But you can always use the blur and sharpen tool for the edges. -LeFrog
