Are any of these edible?

All found in the mid-atlantic region of the US.
1) Brown puffball.


About 4" wide and 3" tall. Found in the grass. Flesh is creamy white, flesh looks almost like a ball of mozzarella but softer and squishier. I know this is probably edible, but I've never seen a brown one like this.
2) Russula sp.?


White with pink gills, flimsy flesh, hollow stem. 1.5" tall, 1.5" diameter cap. Found in the grass. No spore print yet.
3) Spiky miniature puffball
 Maybe a half inch in diameter. Kind of cool looking.
4) Light brown mushroom with dark gills.


 I hope these are edible because I have a lot of them. Dark brown spore print, approximately 3" in diameter, stem is about 3" long. Looks "grocery store mushroom"-ish. Found in the grass.
5) Light brown mushrooms, found in mulch next to a bush, some found in the grass nearby.




I REALLY hope these are edible, because I have a shitload. They grow in clumps, flesh is sort of squishy and dampish. The center of the cap is a little darker in color than the rest, and the cap itself is wavy. Gills are decurrent and creamy tan. About 3" wide and 1 1/2" tall.
6) Armillaria sp.


Yellow with yellow gills, ring on stipe, and about 3" tall. Grew in a small clump in the grass. There was probably dead wood underground.
7) Amanita sp.



I'm not considering eating these things, they're just cool. Found in the grass. If there was a tree around, it was far enough off in the distance for me to not see it. Light brown, shaggy cap, no warts. Stem is faintly shaggy (but mostly smooth), has a ring and a bulb, no volva. No distinctive smell. White gills. The small one was 5 1/2" tall and the taller one 7".

2 & 4 are Agaricus species, most likely edible, unless they smel like ink or chemicals. 7 is an edible Macrolepiota. Puffballs seem past their prime, and #6 is not an Armillaria.

#7's cap looked not-Amanita-ish but I'm suspicious of anything agaric-y looking.
#6 maybe Cortinarius sp.? Someone once told me they were honey mushrooms, but it's certainly possible that they didn't know what they hell they were talking about.

Every mushroom in this post is an agaric except for the puffball. You're not using that word correctly BB.

Ok, sorry. So what about the yellow ones? Or the squishy ones?
I don't know too much about things that aren't boletes, because they're all I usually find. And a few small amanitas here and there.

#2 dropped brown spores and the gills turned chocolate brown. I don't know why the stem was unusually flimsy. Hopefully it's not buggy. (barf!) The others look and smell pretty good.
