Subject 1#
Habitat: Pine forest, just not to far from a bank going into a swamp/river, growing in soil under a pine tree, the grass was short, Auckland New Zealand.
Stem: Stem was hallowed, soft and white and about 2cm high
Cap: the cap dipped in the middle, on the outta ring of the cap there was a light brown ring that slowly faded in a darker brown the more it receded into the middle
Spore print color: Printing them now, will post when ready.
Bruising: No bruising
Other information: the smell it gave off was quite nice cant really explain it to be honest.

Subject 2#
Habitat: Pine forest, just not to far from a bank going into a swamp/river, growing in soil under a pine tree, the grass was short, Auckland New Zealand. about 3-4 feet from Subject 1##
Gills: the gills faced downwards as the cap covers the top of the stem, they are white.
Stem: the stem was no more then 1.5 cm, very thick but hollow. it was also white
Cap: the cap was more spherical like a bubble on top of the stem, just like subject 1## this cap was brown but the brown was lighter on the outter part of the cap and was darker towards the middle.
Spore print color: Will have this ASAP
Bruising: Color that the mushroom bruises, if any.
Other information: Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.

Subject 3#
Habitat: these ones grew out of the cracks of a slowly dieing branch, they grew in wild numbers i counted about 50 of them.
There isn't much i can say about these, i placed some specimens in my bag but i have seemed to have misplaced them, im guessing they broke into little pieces in my bag. ill go out tomorrow and grab some more for further inspection.
Bruising: No Bruising


 ____________________________________________
Subject 4#
Habitat: These ones grew wildy, found these in a gap under a very thick tree, no sunlight got it. no grass grew due to lack of sunlight but a vine was growing creating the greenery in the pictures. found in Auckland New Zealand
Gills: the gills were a light brown, very damaged as well, i check all the mushrooms and none had a undamaged gill.
Stem: the steam was a very dark brown, hollow in the inside. the steam felt like damp cardboard. the stem was also damaged but the one i acquired was the one with the least amount of damage
Cap: the cap was pretty much the only undamaged thing about the mushrooms, the top had a brown flower pattern on the top, the rest of the mushroom was a noticeable lighter brown then the pattern
Spore print color: printing now, will post ASAP
Bruising: No Bruising



_________________________________________________________
Subject 5#
Habitat: there was a tree that had fallen down by a couple of other tree in the middle of a field, the stump was still in the ground, growing from the roots though from this stump were these little guys, there were a lot of them. in the stump though there were another 3 bigger ones which i took.
Gills: every specimen i got had the gills stop so they didn't totally go the stem, there was always a chunk of the cap taken out of each one this is where the gills faded out.
Stem: this stem was a lot less hollow then the others but when i squeezed it there did appear to be some space, the stem was about 3cm high.
Cap: the cap was totally white, not a bright white though. the younger mushrooms had a bubble shaped cap well the bigger ones had more a a flatter cap but none the less the cap was still roundish
Spore print color: very light brown

Bruising: was a light brown

Subject 6#
After crossing the river at the point the river became narrow i found myself walking through a forest to find a large colony of these babies.
Habitat: vines were scattered all over the ground, very very thick like walking a pillows. these guys as big as they are were growing out of it. they are similar to subject 4# in look and in habitat just the vines that were growing here were a lot thicker
Stem: as much as these ones looked similar to Subject 4# the stems on these ones were very very thick and a lot more shorter, there was room in the stem but it was not hollow and the stem was white.
Cap: the cap was a dark dirt like brown, it looked like subject 4# but with a totally different pattern, this one had a wave like pattern the aim towards the outer a ring of the cap.
Spore print color: Dark Brown and light brown pattern, quite different from the patterns im used to when printing.

Bruising: a very dark brown
Other information: the mushroom resembled one that you would find in a super market to be honest but im here to find out if it is or not.

Both print were pretty much the same the only difference being size. they were a light brown as if someone had rubbed dirt (not mud) on paper.

Subject 1# and 2# print will be later on tomorrow as i was only able to find one of each and i really dont want to pull the stem off to make a print, if anyone knows of another way to make a print without ripping the stem off please do tell.

Threatening to eat unidentified mushrooms is not the way to get attention to your post.
Pictures are mostly out of focus or pixilated so maybe that's why you're getting no responses, otherwise your ide requests are quite good. Work on taking in focus pictures and the chances of an id goes up by 
I'll have a crack:
1) Russula sp.
2) Picture is too blurry. White gills you say.... Maybe another Russula sp.
3) It's a blur.
4) Maybe a manky Chlorophyllum sp.
5) I'm thinking Hebeloma or Cortinarius
6) Is an Agaricus sp.
I was cringing while identifying these. Take all those id's with a grain of salt. Just trying to help you is all.
