I dreamt and they came

I had a dream last night about mushrooms in my yard. i had slight visions of regular mushrooms that are in my yard normally in a circle pattern. then i had dreams of 6 foot tall mushrooms that fanned and all kinds of crazy stuff. but anyways. so i havent seen mushrooms in my yard since fall and last night i had a dream about them and i woke up and in my yard there they were! these are the typical guys. i usually have fungicide in my lawn. its not my choice but o well. anyways i found these... I live in North Texas by the way (DFW area) didnt bruise, gills were white. i looked at one that was all the way openend, and it looked KIND of like some cubensis that i have *coutlivatedugh* and seen before, but they are not. they are strange. and everytime i have a dream about them i feel sick. like they are a no no. this cam takes very nice pictures.

Your camera does do nice photos. Good focus and detail.
If possible, please get spore prints of these mushrooms. I think the 2nd and 3rd ones will have white spore prints, but it's good to have actual verification of that.
It would be very helpful to see the underside of the first one's cap. You should also show the base of the stem whenever possible.
The second one looks like an Amanita. We need to see the volva and base of the stem to start with. Be careful picking them, the volva can come off very easily in the soil. You should also note any odor or bruising reactions.
The last one also suggests Amanita to me. Again, please show us the volva and base of the stem, and note any odor or bruising.
Let us know and we'll see what we can do on IDing them.
Happy mushrooming!

what is the volva? i picked the mushroom as close to the ground as i could and all i saw was the dirt and a little cluster that forms the base of the mushroom. the stem is hollow. there is no odor, nor any coloring reactions. i saw one of these after the sun and heat we get here, and the cap was literally burned off, you could see the stem and little remanances of carbon? from what the mushroom had left behind. looked like a burnt flower or something.

A volva is a cuplike structure around the base of the stem of a mushroom. They are a key identification feature of Amanitas. There are several other genera of mushrooms which have them (at least sometimes), but seeing one should make you wary of eating a mushroom. The deadly Amanitas are responsible for the majority of fatal mushroom poisonings.
When photographing mushrooms, make sure your photo includes the bottom of the stem, because the appearance of the base of the stem is often important for identification.
If the mushroom appears to turn into something like carbon, did it become ink-like first? The genus Coprinus does this, and some of them have universal veils like Amanita does. Most of the larger species of Coprinus are edible, but there are some poisonous species also.
Happy mushrooming!

no it didnt ink. i did however one time come upun some coprinus without knowing and then i had this nasty smelling black ink in this trash bag. eugh that smelled real bad. i think mitchnast is correct. i did a spore print. and looking at it it looks red but tilt it and it kind of turns purple. i looked up on the net and the volva i think as you would call it matches the ones i saw where i lookked it up.
