I usually open a thread like this one with 'supposed liberty cap' ID requests expecting to see some random mushroom, definitely not being a liberty cap. However, your first picture does in fact look a bit like ps. semilanceata. In particular, there seems to be a somewhat translucent nipple in the first pic. But since that pic and the last one you posted are very blurry, it's very hard to tell. Some _sharp_ pictures would help. Use your camera's macro function to obtain a better shot.
Species #2 is an inactive panaeolus #3 I don't know.

1) Likely to be P. semilanceata however its hard to see for sure. Check to see if the gills are purplish-brown. 2) Psathyrella 3) Maybe Psathyrella, check spore print color.

It is a liberty cap without doubt. They've been my main prey for 20 years. I know one when I see one.
