#1 I'd say agaricus, but I'm not familiar with this particular species. There's something a bit odd about them, but agaricus seems the best match from the top off my head. Here's a key to the genus. #2 Maybe agrocybe #3 No idea...there seems a bit of amanita in there, and a hint of pluteus as well as a dash of lepiota... Amanita and lepiota/chlorophyllum would have white prints, pluteus would be pink. In any case, this is not a species I'm familiar with.

I think that the 1st one is Stropharia rugoso-annulata, the yellow variety.

I hadn't considered that possibility, but it sounds like a very plausible candidate indeed!

Might 3 be a Tricholoma?
Probably not but I just wanted to have a guess.

#3 is screaming Pluteus, I think.

Pluteus seems likely, but if the print is really all white, then that would be ruled out.

Pluteus cervinus is a good match.

Pluteus magnus is also a good match - need a microscope to be sure.

I like this notion - the wrinkled look to the cap makes me lean towards P. magnus as well.

Hey everyone thanks for all the help with the I.D. I really appreciate it
Specimen 2 was noted as possibly being an Agrocybe I was reading that many Agrocybes are poisonous, should i worry about specimen 2 being poisonous?
Thanks again for the help

You certainly shouldn't eat it. Sp. #1 is a good edible...

Only if for some reason you are deciding to eat it - which is not something that is advised...

Although I would not eat it as far as I know there are no poisonous agrocybes.
