Newbie Finds ID Help (Northern West Virginia)

Hey guys! First time posting here so I hope I get down most of the specifics. Not very experienced hunting mushrooms but I have been reading as much as I can and decided to go out and find some shroomies in my local forest. I had been seeing a lot out, even thought I saw a big hefty oyster mushroom the other day but I could be wrong. Anyways, I've returned with some mushrooms and was wondering if anyone could give me some help with identification.
Here's a picture of the batch, caps down to give view of the gills.

Here's them, caps-up:

Here's the big hefty white/yellow one chillin up top:

These ones sparked a lot of my interest...


Also, here are some smaller white ones I found and thought they were similiar to the big ones maybe? Theyre side by side for comparison.

Any help would be appreciated! I've been trying to read a lot but it's hard to get the first little grasp of what's in my area, so this identification will help a lot. These were all found in the woods, a lot of clay in this area and it's been raining a lot so theyre everywhere. Also found a lot on pine needles and general wood laying around. Also I have them printing at the moment and will get back with spore prints asap!

hi and welcome to the forum
i'll get this out of the way - when asking for id its best to have at least one pic of it where its growing before you pick it and then fill out the information in the template you get when you select for ID request.
that said, i'll take a guess at your big yellow ones, they're probably amanita muscaria or the variety we have here in the states. be advised these are not 'magic' mushrooms. they seem to be fruiting a month or so early this year.
not sure what the pinkish ones are, but not an active species.

Thank you so much for the tips and the help! Sincerely appreciated. I have seen a lot of what I had thought to be amanitas, and one for sure. White all over with the white spots on the cap like the pictures I had seen.
