First Maryland Hunt

I've recently moved back to my home state of Maryland, from Florida. While in southeast FL, I knew an experienced picker who would let me go with him from time to time to pick Cubies. Now though, I don't know of anyone experienced in hunting local actives. While the pickings were easy to come by where I used to live, now mushroom hunting I can tell, has become a challenge. Yesterday I went on my first real hunt in MD, and although I grew up here, I mostly have no idea what any of the mushrooms I ran across were.
---
1. The first mushroom I came across was caramel colored with a nipple top.
Habitat: Found growing from decomposing soil of leaf and tree matter. Seemed only prevalent around small pine trees (see pic of habitat below) Gills: Whitish brown Stem: Whitish, thin grooves/lines down stem, 2" - 4" in most specimens Cap: Silky caramel, almost translucent Spore print color: Rusty Orange Bruising: No color change was observed Location: Picked in northern MD







---
2. Gold capped banded
Habitat: Found growing on the side of a rarely used dirt road in the soil, near a river bank. Gills: Haven't looked Stem: Tan fleshy Cap: Gold to light brown, dark band(s) around outside Spore print color: Not yet taken Bruising: No color change was observed Location: located in northern MD
**Quick note: I thought this species was the same as the one I found at the beginning of my hunt, and therefore did not collect it or examine it much closer. When I got home and was looking through my picture though, it seems as this mushroom is different from the first. If needed, I remember exactly where I found these and will be able to collect one for further examination.

3. Small yellow/orange caps
Habitat: Green Grass Gills: Dirty yellow Stem: 1" stout stem Cap: Orange to yellow fade, irregular Spore print color: Purple/Brown Bruising: No color change was observed Location: located in northern MD

So if anyone would be so kind and help me identify these rascals I'd very much appreciate it. Before I leave off though, I took pictures of a few other interesting fungi that I'd like to share. Thanks again.

The last two pictures appear to be Trametes versicolor.

Thank you for the prompt response elprawn. I definitely think you're right about the second and last mushroom. Here are a couple more pics of interesting mushrooms I found out on the hunt:


Any tips or suggestions anyone may give me are welcomed, thanks.
