I think mushroom 2 is stropharia aurantiaca, I'm not too sure about 1 and 3 but I'd also like to know, I've got a big bunch of number 3 popping up in my front yard

1. not sure. possibly a coprinus. could even be a galerina.. i wouldnt trust it.
2. stropharia aurantiaca
3. pretty sure its a gymnopilus sp. may well be psychoactive, but only very mildly. if you like, taste a tiny bit and spit it out. if its bitter, and turns out having a rusty orange spore print, its a gym. i found a couple of them today actually.

So is it likely that the gym is active?

Unless you can find green stains, its probably not active. Some green stainers are active though.
Look for the green stains on the aborts.
