1st ID request. These grow in my yard...

I'm hoping I can post all the relevant info properly. I've seen shrooms in areas of my yard for years, and today decided to pic some n see what they might be. It has been very wet/ rainy weather for the past several days. I'm in New Jersey, if that helps.
I have at least 3 kinds here so far, possibly 4. The first 2 seem to grow in clumps or in large numbers in the area. Number 3 was growing solitary.
Here's a pic of the growing area: they are all under a low hanging canopy of trees n shrubs. Some moss grows here as well as grass. Alot of wood chips and wood material as well as grass clipping.
Here's a pic of some on paper:

#1- pics



Cap- cream to light orange, less than one inch diameter "umbrella shaped" Stems- white Gills- white
#2- pics- General clump/ area:

Cap:
 Stem/ underside:

Cap: Deep Brown on top, lighter colored nipple. Most are 2-3 inches in diameter. Stems: beige/ very light brown Gills: dark brown, open
Bruising on cap appears brownish, but that may be the sun starting to burn them(?)
#3-


 Cap is Beige to Cream color. Just over 3 inches across. Stem : white to light grayish Gills: slightly darker than cap and stem, grayish color
#4- maybe the same shroom as #1. They appear identical except the cap is lighter in color. These were in the same area, but the sun had yet to hit them at all, whereas #1 had some light hitting it.


This is my first attempt at getting an idea of what might be growing here. They pop up several times a year. My apologies for the weak posting of details. I'm not very savvy at this yet. I don't intend to eat these, but would like to know what they are, perhaps I could dry them n save for a rainy day if there's anything worth while. Thanks to anyone who might be able to provide any insight. Please let me know if you need anymore info. Thanks again, Den

Seems like most of your finds are Psathyrella sp.

Wow, spot on! After googling the species name, the images match exactly. Thanks so much for your help.
Now I know to rid the area of them when the nieces and nephews come to visit. Just to be safe. Thanks again, much appreciated.

they're more in danger of whatever you're gonna use to get rid of them than the mushrooms

Why?
They're a harmless species and probably good for your garden, and a sign of it being healthy. Just teach the kids not to consume unidentified mushrooms, that is a whole lot easier and healthier for your surroundings. Also good teaching the kids respect for nature.

The only thing I would to "rid them" is cut the grass with the lawn mower like normal. I wasn't suggesting a mass extermination of some kind lol. But I do have a 2 year old niece that just loves to shove everything in her mouth... So just a little extra precaution while she's still learning NOT to eat everything she picks up. She used to eating tomatoes and cucumbers, etc right off the vine in the garden, and is quite familiar with store bought mushrooms. I would feel terrible if she got sick from picking and eating one when I could have mowed them down before she got here. Hope I'm making sense...
Otherwise they get mowed down with the rest of the grass anyway, so I wouldn't be doing anything that isn't already done on a regular basis.
I quoted your post because I honestly couldn't agree more. All the kids in my family have been brought up in the outdoors, and are all budding little gardners
Thanks again for the help on the ID, and for your concern as well. It is nice to see other people with a love for nature in general as well. Take care, and sorry for the confusion about "ridding" them. Have a great week

Yeah, it didn't really sound like you were going chemical on this one, but RuralAnomaly set ideas in my head. The use of a mower will possibly help them spread rather than eradicate them.
