Various Finds - Newbie Needs Help with ID

Hey everyone, long time no see. It's been about 2 years since my last post. I recently picked up the Audubon field guide for mushrooms, and I've got to say, field identification is not as easy as it is with plants. The field guide itself leaves a lot to be desired, and I'm having a lot of trouble matching my finds to the pictures & descriptions in the book. I was hoping that I could upload some photos I took today (I apologize in advance for the horrible image quality, my phone's HD was full, so I had to trick the OS by using snapchat to take photos and then making a screenshot of the image... real ghetto, I'm sorry, it won't happen again), and that you all might be able to help me ID them. I honestly have barely any idea what I'm looking at, so I can't even tell you what I think they might be. This is just everything I saw during a half-hour walk through the woods in central CT.
Any help would be appreciated.

Mushroom 1 looks like an Amanita maybe? 2 looks like an leucopaxillus 3 Possibly Mycena 4 Possibly Pluteus 5 Cystoderma 6 Amanita

On second thought mushroom 4 looks closer to Psathyrella Delineata

Thanks, Chimp. I've been looking through the field guide and the internet for more information, using your IDs as a jumping-off point. I think you're right about the Psathyrella ID, it could be delineata or rugocephala, I can't be sure, as I don't have a microscope and didn't make a spore print or anything like that.

Number one might be Amanita pachycolea
