1) Maybe an Agrocybe sp.
2) Maybe a Gymnopilus sp.
3) Coprinellus micaceus

Nothing there worth eating in my opinion and every mushroom is a good find.
Some tips: Learn how to do spore prints and this will help you be able to identify your own mushrooms. It will also help the identifiers here if you include a spore colour with your id requests. Here's a link on how to make spore prints if you didn't already know.>>link
A picture of the underside of the cap that shows clear gill features does help and you should include at least one for every species.
Happy mushrooming!

You need to form your I.D. requests a little better for people to work out what is what. This should be helpful http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/5731447.
The more information you are able to give folks the more they'll be able to help you. You'll also learn a lot from the process in terms of what to pay attention to/look out for.
Best of luck

You really need better, more detailed, and more comprehensive photos for anybody to correctly ID those mushrooms. A spore print is also very helpful and more often than not necessary.

Exactly.

No. There are no simple rules like that. The simplest of rules usually involve at least two parameters, but usually you need even more. Experience is key. Get yourself a mushroom guide (or a couple) and try to identify your finds. Post your finds here as well, and you'll learn what characteristics are important.

Well, no. They are definitely not worth eating, in the sense that I have heard Gymnopilus sp have got an extremely bitter taste and unpleasant leathery texture. However, if you boil the right dosage into a tea, it would appear that what you found likely contains active compounds and will probably get you high. However, it's not a conventional trip from what I have heard. I haven't tried them myself, but have heard them described as more relaxed and having more of an effect on the body than the mind.
Cool find.

Active gymnopilus species contain psilocybe and related compounds. So very similar to/the same as cubes, liberty caps, etc.
