To be quite honest i do not know what any of these species are, so i'm going to attempt to use the best descriptory details i can while maintaing the proper identification request format. Mind you, these were all found roughly in the same small area ontop of a very tall hill among many dead and living trees.
Specimen #1 The cap:

Small version of specimen: 
Habitat: Elevated hillside, above and outside the roots of a tree.(Living) Gills: Dark brown, attached, fairly loose spacing. Stem: Dingy whitish-brown Spore print: Unknown, it was left in the wild. Bruising: If any blackish brown. Location: NE Ohio
Specimen #2
This next species when they were young looked like little tiny libery caps: 
As they got larger in size they tended more to look like this: 
Picture of the gills: 
Habitat: Inside of a dead tree, peeled back dead bark to find them. Gills: Not attached, very close together, white Stem: Very fragile, the color seemed to be amber-brown in appearance. Cap: Dingy white-brown around the edges, progressing to dark brown the closer it gets to the middle Spore print: Left in the wild, unknown. Bruising: None was observed Location: Same as the rest.
Specimen #3



Habitat: Dead Tree Gills: Attached, very close together, white Stem: White Cap: Dark to light brown Spore print color: You're gonna hate me.. unknown Bruising: None was observed Location: NE OHIO
Well, thats all for today, thank you for taking the time to share in my mushroom expedition, i've learned from this that i need to start saving caps for a spore print, so dont be too frustrated with me if you cant help me identify them because of the lack of spore print. Thanks again, have a good one shroomers!

Good job filling out the ID request. Pics could use some improvement, though. I took horrid pics until I read Mushroom Photography Tips. Good stuff.

Also: i'd really like a positive ID on the third one, i did save a cap and i'm doing the spore print right now, i'm interested in attempting to propogate a wild specimen (non-active) unless that fucker is active, in which case, oh well (this i highly doubt.)

Thanks very much for your input Mr. Mushrooms, that does look fairly similar to what i found, although the cap differs slightly from that shape, it is more like a sphere cut in half. Again, tyvm.

I finished the sporeprint and it seems to be white.
