 Three random non-active IDs...

It finally rained some here in middle Ga. I haven't gotten a chance to search any fields yet, but these popped up in my yard and the woods by my house. I'm having a hard time with the ID for these 3. I'd appreciate any help!
Habitat: Lawn, not near any trees.
Gills: The gills STARTED as white with a hint of salmon, but turned really dark brown a couple hours later. The gills are either free or slightly adnexed. Crowded.
Stem: White, relatively stiff, pearly in appearance. Veil remnant present (picture). Approx 3/8 diameter", no vulva noticed.
Cap: White, smooth, approx 2.5" in diameter. Slight dimple at top.
Spore print color: Dark brown/black.
Bruising: Slight gold/tan about 30 min after I pressed my finger into the stem.
Here's the next one. I found these EVERYWHERE around my neighborhood.
Habitat: Grass, not near any trees.
Gills: The gills started as dark red, but changed to dark brown/black after a couple hours.
Stem: White, pretty stiff, no vulva noticed. Veil remnant present.
Cap: Approx 3". White, slight tanning near center. Some light-reddish areas noticed in some specimens prior to picking.
I'm almost wondering if this second one is the same as the first, only at a later growth stage when I picked it?
Here's the third:
Habitat: Grass, not near any trees.
Gills: None noticed. I'm assuming it's either a bolete or maybe the gills hadn't formed yet? I pulled the stem off to see if I could pull off what I thought was the veil, but there was only white, fleshy meat underneath.
Stem: approx .5" " wide. White and fleshy, soft but not fragile, slightly enlarged at base (see picture).
Cap: White with white scales.
Bruising: No color change was observed.
Also, this one smelled awesome. As soon as I pulled the stem off, I noticed this awesome tangy mushroom aroma that made me hungry.
Thanks again for any help y'all can provide in helping me ID these.

I think the first two are the same, and they look like meadow mushrooms, Agaricus campestris. There are some poisonous members of the genus, so I stick to the Agaricus bisporus sold at the grocery store. The third could be a stalked puffball, but I think it might be a young amanita that hasn't burst through its veil yet -- potentially deadly.
