Need help identifying - Good Description and Samples

I found them in the woods between two pastures where cows roam through. In the US in Georgia, Metro Atlanta - Carrollton.
The woods have plenty of dead hardwood, the top soil in the woods is composed of nothing but dead leaves, cow manure, and decaying logs. They all smell fair as far as I can tell. (No southern yellow pine surprisingly in this patch of very old woods)
After all of that description I have no past experience and came here to learn and share with the community. I've started a recent interest in Mushrooms and look to gain much from the community. Walking through this patch of woods, I have spotted several different species of mushroom which I will share with you. . . . . .

1 and 2 are of a legitimate purple mushroom.(Sticky)
3 and 4 are the same mushroom, and when I pulled it the stem turned purple-blue. (Sticky)
5 and 6 are another single mushroom.
7,8, and 9 are the same from my naked eye. (Sticky - Tops Only)
10 and 11 are possibly the same mushroom the color was different from the others
12 and 13 are another single mushroom
14,15, and 16 are yet another single mushroom
EDIT: I have not spore printed obviously and would like tips and tricks if any are willing to give any pointers.

1-4 are a Cortinarius. 7-13 area bolete, possibly Suillus. The last three are a Russula.

Thanks for the help. From what I read about those species they are all no good. Thank you for pointing that out. Ive spotted some ones growing directly from the cow dung. Those i will post tomorrow hoping they'll grow a little more by tomorrow.

It depends what you mean by 'no good'. The boletes could well be good edibles, but the Cortinarius are potentially toxic. None contain psilocybin, though. If that's what you're after, you'd do well to learn what species of psilocybin mushrooms grow in your area and what they actually look like. All the info is in this site.

Yes, I'm after the psilocybin ones. I have looked at their directory on them. Helpful? Yes, but I understand that I need to learn the good from the bad before picking wildly. I will also take into consideration of the ones that are beneficial health-wise. Again, thanks and I look forward to crossing paths another time.
