I.D please (not active, possible edible)

Hi all, I stumbled across a couple of mushrooms today when out picking blackberries and I am just wondering if they are edible. I'm sure they will all be poisonous but at least it will help me on my long mycological journey of understanding the mushroom world.
All mushrooms were found in the U.K.
Mushroom 1:




This mushroom was found growing on pasture, spore print is white/cream. The stem is quite long and seems almost fibrous.
Mushroom 2:



This mushroom was found growing out of a tree stump in the same field. I'm not really sure what information I can give on them but I will answer any question best I can.
Mushroom 3:



This mushroom was found growing out of a small piece of possibly horse manure. I didn't take one home for a spore print as it was unfeasible at the time. They were found at quite a high altitude in the peak district.
So if I haven't provided enough info I will give more if I can but hopefully these will be enough to go by, thanks in advance to anybody who will give the time to help me out with an I.D. Cheers, Rob.

1.I have no idea sorry. 2.I think I found the same mushroom today. Really not sure what it is. 3.Your third mushroom could be Pan.cinctulus or Pan.foenisecii but i'm really not sure as you have only put up pictures.

I didn't think it was chicken of the woods but now that you point it out it might be. If you can get a spore print from it it will be white if it's laetiporous sulphureus. If 1. is xerula the cap should be slightly slimy when it is damp. I found a xerula today aswell.

I concur with Xerula radicata and Protostropharia semiglobata. The second might be Meripilus giganteus. It isn't a Laetiporus.

Didn't realise it had been moved into a new genus. I haven't been keeping up to date!

Thanks very much for the help. Its very daunting all this mushroom research I'm doing, it seems there are that many mushrooms out there, learning about them and identifying them seems virtually impossible unless I have somebody by my side to show me what they are, and even then I am unsure as to whether I would eat any unless they were completely obviously edible. Thanks again though, looks like another 10 years research might do the trick.

you dont have to know all of them. most of us here dont. just look around which grow most frequently and learn how to recognize them.
