A few mushrooms to help ID.

I took a walk to a local park. This is one of many kinds of shrooms I found. A couple I think I can definitively identify though some confirmation would be great. Most of the mushrooms only had 1 or 2 specimens so I left them without plucking any so they could drop there spores and procreate. Instead I tried to get good pics. Pardon the descriptions I'm still learning. Correct me when and where I am wrong. This is all central coast WA.
1. This one I think is a Suillus Fuscotomentosus.
Habitat: Disturbed area under conifers. Looks like maybe a couple zelleri's nearby.

Cap: Buff brown and cracked.
 
Stem: Very short maybe a couple inches and appears off yellow.

2. This is the beginnings of an Amanita Muscaria I think. Beautiful jeweled things that they are I had to capture it.

3. This one I'm not sure if it is a Bolete or Suillus.
Habitat: Unsure. Someone had picked it and tossed it down. It could be that they picked it where I found it or somewhere else and tossed it later. The whole park is mostly grass with scattered conifers and deciduous.
Cap: Seems to be a deep purple brown/black and convex.

Stem: The stem is probably about 4 inches long, gradually widens and is a dark cream in color with glandular dots that appear the same color as the cap.

4. I am really unsure on this one. I'm guessing with only 2 pics (one good shot of the cap and one crappy one of the stem) someone here may or may not be able to narrow it down to a genus and certainly not a species.
Habitat: Disturbed grassy area.
Cap: Brown with lines (striations?) in it kind of convex, conical, and umbonate all at the same time.

Stem: Brown. I didn't want to pull it up because it was the only one so I don't know any more about the stem.

4. I am certain this is of the genus Lactarius. What I am NOT sure of is what species it might be.
Habitat: Disturbed grassy area.
Cap: Cream colored depressed and umbilicate?
 
Stem: About 1/2 inch diameter white to off white solid.
Gills: Adnate and slightly decurrent? Off white to cream colored exuding a white milk where damaged.

5. I believe this to be a Russula of some kind unsure of the variation though.
 
6. This I'm pretty certain is Coprinellus Micaceus
 
7. I think this one is a pleurotus of some kind.
Kind of fishy smelling with an underlying anise scent like it smelled pleasant before it was old and kicked over by some jerk kid.
 
8. Last but not least I am again unsure what genus or species.
Habitat: Disturbed grassy area where some old blackberry bramble had been hedged and trimmed.
Cap: Convex and dark orange brown center fading in color towards the margin.

Gills: Creamy yellow? Close, forked, and adnate.
 
Stem: 3-4 inches long creamy pink with fibrous looking lines. Equal almost to the base then almost an abrupt bulb?

3. Looks like birch bolete. Did you find it near a birch tree?

The leaves near #3 look like alder leaves (VERY common around here) but I wouldn't know a birch if it bit me in the ass. If I'm not mistaken an alder is a kind of birch (but like I said I wouldn't know a birch if it bit me).

Looks like Birch leaves to me.
Birch = Betula species, Alder = Alnus species. Both are in the Betulaceae family so Alder isn't a type of Birch but they are closely related.

Glad you cleared that up for me. Anyone have any confirmations on any of the others or ideas?

No I went ahead and grabbed it since some kid kicked it over. Spore printed it and it was white bordering on gray. Woohoo my first true oyster. Too bad it was too far gone to eat.

Yeah it looked terrestrial but my guess is there was some buried wood there.
