5 could be A. muscaria. Take a pic of the base of the stem, because it's a good indicator.

#1 armillaria species, I think a. tabescens #2 not really sure, entoloma maybe? Just a stab; it looks a bit big for a mycena. #3 calvatia gigantea, most likely #4 yes, that's that big laccaria species, perhaps l. amethystina-occidentalis? #5 is indeed an amanita #6 looks like a. amerirubescens, likely infested with some mold in the first pic.

Good stabs, Koraks!
3 Doesn't seem like Giant Puffball with the color and shape. Maybe another large puffball or Scleroderma with that color.
4 Laccaria ochropurpurea
5 Yes, Amanita, but I can't place it with the info given.
6 Hypomyces hyalinus growing on Amanita amerirubescens.

The stem looks too yellow to me and seems rather small, probably Amanita frostiana http://americanmushrooms.com/taxa/Amanita_frostiana_02_Paula_DeSanto.htm
or it is Amanita flavoconica
http://www.mushroomexpert.com/amanita_flavoconia.html
I'm am so willing to bet that it isn't a muscaria...that I can be reasonably sure even without base pic I've run into so many of these frostiana's and flavoconia's thinking they could be muscaria's, and everytime i've been disappointed, but on the plus side, I've gotten really good at spotting these one(s)
But a base pic will tell for sure
Amanita muscaria's also usually have an impressive size that there's rarely a question
-just my 2cents

Defiantly fun to be out hunting anyways, and no probs man. Would you describe it as salmon colored? Because maybe if it was growing on some hidden decayed wood- you might have a Pluteus...?

Looks like dye from the black sheet of paper (?) you left those on to print.
And the amanita is definitely not a. muscaria.

Yah not an A. muscaria, but interesting to think what it is. Most of the flavoconica I've seen have more yellow wart than that(that's not a rule though) and the stem in the second pic makes me skeptical to flavoconica. I think that Azmirth is probably right with frotiana.

It's not A. frostiana; that has an obvious striate margin, orange in the cap and is pretty rarely collected. If anyone thinks they've found it, I'd surely like to see some pics...
A. flavoconia is pretty variable but this doesn't seem like that either.
A. muscaria var Guessowii can have a yellow stem and ring, but I see some red blushing on the cap near the slug eaten part. That makes it section Validae.
A yellow blusher, hmmm...Amanita flavorubens!
What we really need are shots of the bulb.

 Here's a shot 5's bulb, hope that helps. I was considering going to the same spot again on Sunday. I'll try and snap some better shots.
And btw, I voted for your Leccinum insigne shot for POTM
