Found these in my garden, there's alot more out there but I thought i'd take a bunch of each type that seemed interesting and were in a nice quantity, bring them home, then hunt them if they're any good or poisonous, or if i should just throw them away, any help on identifying these would be great thanks. I found them all in my gardens/fields, I live in southwest England, Cornwall.

Could you possibly take some better lighted pictures - outside would be better, showing the gills and stems and caps of each individual species? Then we could help you more

So you would say these are the only active ones and ones I should pick up when I go out looking for more?

Could you take all the mushrooms in pics 4 & 5 and take some more pictures. Spread them all out facing the same way and get some of the caps, gills & stems 
EDIT: On closer inspection the mushroom at the front of pic 3 (closest to your thumb) looks like a Lib to so include this in your pics

1st pic, the second one in is a Coprinellus I think. Last pic the 5 on the right Mycena The rest are liberty caps I think There are no other active species in your collection.

Agree with The Chimp. Those are Libs and are what you should look for if actives are your target

This was an interesting post! Usually people who collect a ton of random shrooms and ask if any are active get nothing and get discouraged. But you got four libs and now know exactly what to look for. Way to go!
