For a collective noun, I've always preferred a column of cavers. Cavers
usually march through a cave in single file, and column is also a type
of speleothem. A "muck of cavers" doesn't usually fit cavers in a dry
western cave.
Only thing about salamanders is that they are loners and don't swarm.

Some of my personal faves:
a murder of crows, an unkindness of ravens and a stare of raccoons.
I'd like to nominate the following for harvestmen:
*a pillow of harvestmen.*
