Need IDs

Hi guys! I live in central Ohio and decided to go tromping around in the woods behind my house (just in case). I doubt I found anything good but I'm primarily trying to improve my hunting skills by verifying the identities. All of these were found in the woods (not sure of the type; looks to be mostly deciduous, but there's also some aspen, so it's a mix.) Found growing in the ground near rotting wood and decaying leaves after a rain. The two smallest ones wouldn't produce a print because they kept drying out before they dropped enough spores--any ideas on how to stop this?
Mushroom #1:


Habitat: Woods (not sure of the type; looks to be mostly deciduous, but there's also some aspen, so it's a mix.) Found growing in the ground near rotting wood and decaying leaves after a rain. I also found some growing on a rotting log of some sort, but couldn't get a decent picture.
Gills: Dark brown/black, close together.
Stem: All varying lengths, but thin in diameter, white, smooth
Cap: All varying in diameter (none bigger than a quarter), reddish brown, smooth, conical
Spore print color: I can't get one! D: They keep drying out before they drop enough viable spores.
Bruising: None that I can see.
Guess: If it's anything, possibly a Gym of some sort.
Mushroom #2:


Habitat: Woods (not sure of the type; looks to be mostly deciduous, but there's also some aspen, so it's a mix.) Found growing in the ground near rotting wood and decaying leaves after a rain.
Gills: Light to dark brown, spaced widely apart.
Stem: All varying lengths, but thin in diameter, cream or light brown?, smooth
Cap: All varying in diameter (none bigger than a quarter), cream around the edges and brown at the apex, smooth, conical
Spore print color: I can't get one! D: They keep drying out before they drop enough viable spores.
Bruising: None that I can see.
Mushroom #3:




Habitat: Woods (not sure of the type; looks to be mostly deciduous, but there's also some aspen, so it's a mix.) Found growing in the ground a pine tree.
Gills: White or dark brown (bruising??), spaced closely apart.
Stem: About four inches, 3/4" in diameter, white, smooth, ringed
Cap: All varying in diameter (none bigger than a quarter), white around the edges and brown at the center, smooth, flat
Spore print color: White/cream
Bruising: None that I can see.
Guess: I'm guessing this one is an Amanita (the poisonous kinds are common around here), and it might be the same type as the second mushroom?
Other info- Mushrooms local to my state: Gymnopilus aeruginosus Gymnopilus junonius Gymnopilus luteofolius Gymnopilus luteus Panaeolus cinctulus Pluteus salicinus Psilocybe caerulipes Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata
I really doubt I have anything (it'd just be too convenient) but I wanted to work on my identification, so I thought I'd verify. Thank you!

pluteus do not have white spore prints
I think they look reminiscent of some amanitas ive seen in the past, and the white spore print matches up

#1 may be a psathyrella

# 1 had no spore color notations in the description... they look young, and cannot visually confirm spore color through those pics.
was just a rough guess anyhow...

#1 - and they look nothing like any amanitas I have ever seen or read about. they lack all the features except the fact it has gills on a cap on a stem... Everything else points far away from amanita.

ahh yess i guess i took your original post out of context since there was no number next to the # sign, automatically assumed u were referring to #3

I was saying the #3 picture looks like an amanita.

Any other votes? I'd like a general consensus before I eat them (although I doubt I will). They're dried now, if you'd like more/better pictures just let me know what you need. I'm just kinda curious as to what is growing around my house--if any of these are active, I've hit the jackpot, lol. Unfortunately, everybody I know has run dry around here, so I have no access until my first batch finishes growing...

1 or 2? The pictures in this link look almost identical to #2. Having looked at pictures of these, I'm guessing this is it. They're identical, unless there are other well-known copycats. These are an inedible species, yes?
