Any of these look familiar?

I am new to this and went out picking a few times in a couple different locations, mostly in a wooded area that had been recently logged, and all the wood was left there to rot with wood chip piles the size of my house. I took several pics of my finds and was wondering if any of these look familiar to anyone? I already threw them away because i plan on going picking again either today or tomorrow. but i was just wondering what to look for next time so i grabbed a little variety of everything i could find.
For everyone mad at me for not posting this in the correct format i'm sorry, i'm just looking to see if i'm going in the right direction.
also next time i go out is there any advice anyone could give me? What should i look for, What should i avoid?
My location is northwest PA

I see a deer , can't help you on the fungi though. The middle left cluster is a Coprinoid species I believe

You should number your pics. You have some Coprinellus, Lacrymaria, Mycena, Xerula and a few others. None of them are active.
You're going about this the wrong way. Rather than randomly picking mushroom you come across you should find out what species grow in your area. Then learn their season and habitat. Then learn the key identifying features of those species (shape, gill colour, etc). You will greatly increase your chances of finding what you want.

according to the shroomery page where it says which active species grow in my state it showed the following.
Gymnopilus aeruginosus Gymnopilus junonius Gymnopilus luteofolius Gymnopilus luteus Panaeolus cinctulus Pluteus salicinus Psilocybe caerulipes Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata Psilocybe semilanceata (very rare)
As far as habitats im mostly limited to woods theres a lot of fields nearby but people around here dont like tresspassers. i have been looking around ferns, around fallen and decaying trees, i have found several giant mounds of wood chips the loggers left behind. Am i searching in the right areas for what i have available. all of my picking is within 2 miles of lake erie in very northwestern PA. I have the areas I have mentiond as well as hills cliffs, mud. soil in the area is very sandy.
I have a friend that has some hourses and they have realy clay soil always muddy there. would i be better looking in places like that?
