Hi there,
This is my first post and I'm very new to Mycology. I'm trying to learn about what types of mushrooms are in our area.
Here's what I found from my first mushroom hunt. Many of the mushrooms I found had slugs eating them so the destruction is severe. I tried to take spore samples from what gills were left. I'm hoping that my lack of familiarity with terminology will improve the more I continue to learn. I've broken them down to 5 groups however there might be less and maybe I'm looking at the same mushroom at different stages. I'm pretty sure that there is 3 different kinds here. Can anyone help identify what I've found?
Mushroom #1 PICS:
 Habitat: growing in moss forest floor under canopy of evergreens. Location: New Brunswick Canada. Trees nearby but not directly under a tree. Gills: free gills? Not attached to stem stem: white long spore print colour: white (cap was put under a jar on sheet of paper for 20 hrs) scent of mushroom: mushroomy colour when bruised: no change cap: creamy colour yellowish, tacky feel bulb: round and obvious size from bulb to cap 7 1/2 cm
Mushroom #2 PICS

Habitat: same as mushroom #1 Location: same as mushroom #1 gills: not attached to stem fan like, flesh, thin skin attached from rim of cap to stem (veil) stem: thick white and yellow stem spore print colour: thick white able to see on white paper scent of mushroom: mushroomy colour when bruised: unchanged or I am unable to see changes cap: orange yellow bright, with pieces of old veil ? Round dome bulb: round & obvious
Mushroom #3 PICS

Habitat: same as mushroom #1 Location: directly under a tree near trunk gills: crowded, not attached stem: short and stubby white spore print colour: unable to see on white sheet scent of mushroom: mushroom colour when buised: i see no changes cap: brownish rounded shaped bulb: see pic not sure how to describe Mushroom #4 PICS

Habitat: same as mushroom #! location: alone but in small group gills: free unattached stem: white stubby spore print colour: beige /cream colour scent of mushroom: mushroom? nothing odd colour when bruised: nothing observed cap: brown, bell shaped rounded 8cm
Mushroom #5 PICS

habitat: same as mush#1 location: clusters but individual gills: fanned free? Stem: thick white spore print: white scent of mushroom: mushroomy colour when bruised: nothing observed cap: depressed? Rimose/cracked?
Thanks for taking a look and helping me out!
Here's some other pics of the mushrooms:

Nice first post! Thanks for taking the time to fill out a proper ID request. I know it can take a minute.
Mushrooms 1 and 2 belong to the Amanita genus.
I can't ID the others right now, don't have my books and I'm not super familiar with species found in evergreen forests. I'm sure someone will be by shortly and help you our.
Welcome to the Shroomery!

The place that you picked these should be a good environment for lobster mushrooms a little later in the year. It is a bright orange puffy-looking fungus that attacks other mushrooms and transforms them. Very easy to spot, and they're a prized edible.
