 ID help Snot & Oyster

Hello everybody. I need some help with these ID's. The first one is most important. All of these mushrooms were picked in central florida.
ID1--
edit: 
Habitat: Front Lawn. grassy areas 15-30ft away from oak trees.
Gills: Gills are white, unchanging with age.
Stem: White, fairly straight, fiberous, 2-4" long. .25-.35" wide. no bulb. covered with a very slippery slimy mucus
Cap: White with occasional very light pink/tan hue. color unchanging with age. 1-2" wide. covered with a very slippery slimy mucus.
Spore print: light yellow
Bruising: no real bruising, just a darkening of color.
Additional Info: they grow solitary to clusters of 3. The entire mushroom is covered with a very slippery slime. they begin to rot into a caramel colored slush within 1-2 days of reaching maturity. I'd like to get this one identified because it grows in great numbers around my house.
ID2--
Clearly some type of oyster.
Cap: white/light tan. very tough, difficult to tear. fully covered in very fine hairs/fingers/scales. very soft to the touch, like velvet.
Habitat: found growing from a rotted log beneath a giant mimosa tree. this was the only mushroom in the area and it is quite large.
Stem: very tough, snapped clean. I dont believe this is the common pleurotus ostreatus because of the very unusual stem. notice how the stem is its own segment.
Spore print: White
Additional Info: smells like pink oysters. doesnt show any bruising at all.
ID3--
edit: 
i dont have much information on this one.
habitat: grassy field beneath oak tree.
stem and cap are a very dark purple/brown/black
stem failed to visibly bruise.
spore print: peachy brown
i'll add more info if i get any.
well guys any help would be great!

the white one is just like one I found the other day, and couldn't get an ID on, because my pictures were just horrid, and I didn't post them.
The one I found had a tan center fading to white, and was covered in slime on the cap and running down the stem an inch or so.
I wish I could help. Hope we find out what it is.

1) Looks like a Lepiota, but I think it is actually Limacella illinita. Search for Limacella on google books and click the Mushrooms Demystified link.
2) Oyster
3) The pinkish spore print, forest habitat, look of the gills and stem coloration strongly imply that it is in the Entolomataceae. Probably a Leptonia.

how does that suspected oyster smell? and taste. The only false oyster's I've come acrossed are very bitter in taste, and have a blue shaded cap.
