First off, this is my first post, so thanks to all of you who are patient with me and take the time... so here goes:

#1:

Habitat: Cow Pasture; near cow dung but not growing from the dung.

Gills: Creamy in color, semi-spacious and wavy; attached to the stem up high.

Stem: Whitish; thick and meaty; Interestingly, I found an insect (caterpillar (?); not pictured) located under one of the caps. When I cut the stem in half I found a couple hollow tunnels through the middle and a ton of larvae inside near the base of the cap. The larvae were orange in color. The roots looked almost like a cotton material, but firm. Width: 1 - 1.75 cm, length 2 - 2.25 cm, root 1 cm.

Cap: White/really light brown/gray; asymmetrical, wavy around the edge; Slightly textured and cracking in places. It looked like insects had taken a few bites out of the top. Width 3.5 - 5.5 cm.

Spore print color: In progress.

Bruising: No color change was observed.

Smell: No significant odor was observed.

#2:

Habitat: Growing directly from cow dung under an oak tree; these were extremely dry when I found them so they've probably been sitting there for a while.

Gills: The gill color varies from a golden brown to dark brown. The gills are spacious.

Stem: Whitish/latte with some black marks, dry and thin, hollow, brittle; lines running up the length of the stem but not straight. Width 1 - 3 mm, length 2 mm - 5.5 cm. The roots looked almost like a cotton material, maybe spider-web like.

Cap: Golden-brown; textured (dry).  More golden around the rim and golden-brown near the top. Width 2.5 cm.

Spore print color: In progress.

Bruising: No color change was observed, but they're extremely dry.

Smell: No significant odor was observed.

And lastly, #3:

Habitat: Under an oak tree, growing directly from a dense patch of oak leaves.

Gills: Sponge; purple/red near the center with an olive green toward the outside.

Stem: Fat and meaty; purple/red and white cream near the bottom.  Width: approx. 2" near the bottom and the top, 3" near the center; length: approx. 2.5". The root was like a solid ball with large sponge-like (Swiss cheese) holes in it.  The top of the stem was rotted out and full of worms (?).

Cap: Smooth and solid (meaty); purple/red; asymmetrical and irregular. Width: approx. 5"

Spore print color: In progress.

Bruising: No color change was observed.

Smell: No significant odor was observed.

I think there's a couple different species in the first set. I see Lactarius alnicola and maybe a Hebeloma sp.. Hard to tell since they're dry. 
#2 Maybe Protostropharia semiglobata
#3 Maybe Boletus eastwoodiae

Thank you, Ran-D.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get any spore prints since the caps were too dry.  I tried some of the methods mentioned on the site to no avail.  I was hoping to get rid of the maybes.
