ID request: sweet looking MD May fungi from the forest.

thanks everybody for looking... either just for looks, or ID's or for your enjoyment... this is what i found over the past two days hunts in nearby deciduous forests. Nothing extremely exciting or active, but some unique fungi doing it's thing in the beginning of the season. What do you think?
#1 This one was growing inside a freshly downed stump... i remember seeing this one from pictures somewhere... in the Audubon societies book it resembles the overall shape and appearance of a tree volvariella, but in Audubon's book its all white...the description is accurate, stating the suspected mushroom grows out of wounds of deciduous trees around may. The mere gill shot i captured appears a similar white...
#2 ...on a small cliff by the river, knobbed cap, growing from moss, close, free gills.
#3
growing by river, grassy area, slimy wide nippled cap, beige to cinnamon gills, wavy and fairly distant, free attachment to the stalk
#4 ... shelf mushroom, very common, i should know this one, it's all over this area...
#5
eaten up, slimy, mushroom, by river, in deciduous forest, tan and peach, very distant and wavy gills.
#6 Umbrella mushroom in the back yard... Japanese Umbrella Inky Coprinus Plicatilis?? grooved cap, gills seen from top, free and attached grayish gills, distant, don't melt like some Inkey's. Recognized these for a few years now... a suburban mushroom appearing in May.. from fruit appearing to dry is around 24 hours... #7 ...really cool looking colorful shelf like fungus growing on unidentified tree near river. #8 ...not sure what these are yet, some funky looking seedling... someone can tell me...there everywhere in the woods around here. #9 ... cool-looking-patterned shelf fungus I can't identify... i thought "this kind of looks like a turkey's tail..." but I don't know what it is... the design is neat. sorry no underside gill shots...
...and the two tailed snake...

#2 might be Entoloma Sp.? Im not too familiar with the genus though.
#6-looks like your right. Parasola Plicatilis is my guess too.

1) Maybe Pluteus sp. 3) Maybe Entoloma sp. 4) Stereum sp., but easily could be Trametes versicolor. 6) Parasola plicatilis 7) Ganoderma sp.

Spore print colors always help, and they take like 30 mins to make, just take one, set it on a white peice of paper and then post ur pics, by the time ur done posting the pics the prints will be done then post another time with the numbers and spore color.

If it is, it would be a Entoloma trachyospermum var. purpureviolaceum. but stem is more white on that. so either its not in my book or its a dif sp.

Gills turn darker with age. So it very possibly is Entoloma trachyospermum var. purpureviolaceum.
What I meant when I said I dont know the genus was more along the lines of its habitat. Im not sure what substrate Entoloma Sp. prefer.

1) Pluteus cervinus 2) Entoloma 3) Pluteus 4) Trichaptum biforme (I can see the purple at the cap margin. Post pictures of the underside next time.) 5) Entoloma or Pluteus 6) Parasola plicatilis 7) Ganoderma lucidum 8) A plant that probably eats mycelium 9) Polyporus squamosus

3 looks like Pluteus salicinus the cap is bluish and the stem is also bluish at the base in the second picture. In the first picture the stem looks bluish and it has free gills.

No problem, mate. I'm using your photos for my own selfish educational reasons. I should be thanking you!
