Morels? (and a few others)

Habitat: Freshly mulched wood chip beds
Gills: grey
Stem: white, hollow?
Cap: conical
Spore print color: not sure how to print these guys
Bruising:
Other information: it smelled like tasty fresh mushrooms when I first cut it, but it lost it's smell pretty soon afterwards
I went for another walk yesterday to see if I could find anything interesting. I have been reading on here about people finding Morels in fresh wood chips so I had my eye out. Just when I was about to give up I looked down and to my surprise:
 I have never hunted Morels before, so i don't know the tricks for I.D., but this sure looked right to me. I just wanted to make sure before I go ahead and munch it. I also found a few others.
This one and a couple smaller ones too.
I also took some pics of a few other things I saw along the way.
#2 Whatever these are they were growing everywhere in the wood chips:


#3 Stropharia? These look a lot like the last one, but no nipple so I assume it's not the same. Also in wood chips:

#4


I am mostly just interested in finding out if my "morels" are in fact morels and maybe what to look for. I seem to recall reading something about cutting them down the middle to look in the stem, or something along those lines. Thanks!

Nice morels!
Maybe your Stropharia actually is a Lacrymaria sp.?

1. Morchella sp.  2. Is an Agrocybe species. Not sure maybe Agrocbe firma. Its the same species i found the other day. http://mushroomobserver.org/131910?q=1Cyz9
4. Pluteus sp., maybe something close to P. cervinus.

Not Stropharia, and i dont think it is Lacrymaria sp.... i could be wrong though.

I think #3 is just a younger version of #2.

Look close at the top 4th pic where the taller mushroom rests on top of the smaller one. Where slugs have been chewing you can clearly see a salmon colored print. Megacollybia rodmani will have a white print.

I don't know how you can determine that from this picture. Yeah, spore print would confirm. I just see a ton of Megacollybia this time of year.

Look at the far back left side of the smaller mushroom where the bigger partially chewed one overlaps it. It's has a reddish hue and not a darker one like a shadow would create. Can you see it now?
