So,I went fishing at a pond in the middle of an oak,pine,birch mixed forest,and I brought back some specimens I found along the way.I wonder if any of the Amanita's I found are psychoactive???

None of those are active. I think you have two edible boletes and at least two poisonous ones.

unless you have a microscope the prints wont help. They will all be white in the Amanita family if I remember correctly.

The two on the left in the second pic are edible.
http://www.mushroomexpert.com/lactarius_indigo.html ... can you get some pics of the gills?

Also some people eat Amanita amerirubescens, but I would not recommend it to anyone that is not familiar with the genus.

Also, amanita vaginata and a. fulva are said to be edible, but even though I'm very familiar with a. fulva, I haven't tried it and probably never will.

vaginata = watery
Also Amanita fulva is a european species I thought.

Caesar's treat: chop amanitas and an onion, fry onion in butter with a bit of chopped garlic, ad amanitas, stir fry for a few minutes. Serve on toast. See Roger Phillips' "Wild Food".
@weilliii: I bet a. fulva is as watery as a. vaginata. We get a. fulva a lot here in NL; I already found some, but the large numbers will arrive in a month or so.

ok,well,thanks for the info guys.I thought all Amnaita's had a white spore print.I'll not be messing with any though.They are just too dangerous.Beautiful mushrooms though.Thanks for the i.d.'s though,I knew that the one was the old man of the woods,and the blue one bleed a really cool blue liquid,and bruised upon handling.
