Picture 1: Some kind of stropharia? Picture 2&3: Possible Reishi or other polypore? I didn't get a chance to see it full grown. Picture 3&4: What the heck is this pancake thing? Picture 5,6,7: VERY stunning white button looking mushrooms with blue gills and a very sweet scent. Would like to know what these are.

Thanks for your help! what material do TI's reference to identify mushrooms? I'm guessing a field guide or some kind of identification book?
Also, I think I messed up the numbering in my original post. picture 4 and 5 is a brown pancake looking mushroom. IS there any chance you can identify it? I can upload a picture of it from a different angle. http://imgur.com/C2IoQzY I assume mushroom in picture 6 is the same as 7-9 coz it was under the same tree.... however there were many different species coming out of the mulch around that tree. I can post more pics from there. some had blue gills and some white.

Field guides covering the area you are in should be of good help when you're out hunting. Also, online references like mushroomexpert, mushroomobserver and mycokey are useful.
There are also several websites dedicated to each their own genera of mushroom, such as this German Inocybe site, the Norwegian Mycena page, boletales.com for Boletes and their relations etc.
For species containing psilocybin I guess most of the available useful information is contained here on this site. Joust's guide is very helpful, as is many of the "official" hunting threads, and of course Alan's Mexican forays are well worth a study.

Alan is still correct that 2-5 are reishi aka Ganoderma.
Most of the TIs have seen so many real-life mushrooms, photographs, and descriptions of mushrooms that they don't need a field guide to recognize the genus of a particular mushroom. It only takes 6 months to a year to be comfortable with >90% of the mushroom genera you will commonly find in your area.
6 is interesting. Can you show some photos of the gills and maybe take a spore print? Maybe Hebeloma or Cortinarius growing in a strange spot.
7-9 are beautiful Cortinarius. I don't know that I have seen that particular species before, and don't know which it might be.

wow.. I'm stunned that big round pancake thing is a reishi. it was a full circle, very large, and it was so short and stubby i couldn't really visibly see the stalk or stem of the mushroom... unlike any reishi I've ever seen. and probably 10x as big as the little reishi in the other two reishi pics i just posted.
Yeah mushrooms in pics 7-9 were very fascinating. I have more pics of larger ones and i picked one to get a photo of the gills of the larger ones. They smelled amazing!! There were some small animal (or large bug?) bites taken out of it. and this was in a patch in south east virginia.
Unforunately I photographed these a few weeks ago so I doubt they are still there.
