Mt. Hood IDs

First... Sorry i couldn't be consistent with the format, i suck at stuff sometimes.. :/ I'll get better!
MUSHROOM #1

Habitat: Location: PNW - Mt Hood Substrate: Grassy Ground Other: Found these in a public facility in some grass.
Gills: Type: See pic Color: Yellowish, darkens with sporulation Attachment: Attached slightly, it looks like.
Stem: Stem was yellow. I'd describe as 'medium' in durability.
Cap: See pics
Spore print color: See pics - can't tell if its really dark brown, or black. My imagination tries to tell me it might be dark purple but... yeah...
Bruising: none noticed
Other information: They grew in a clump - maybe 7-10. Nothing else too noticeable.
MUSHROOM #2

Habitat: Location: PNW - Mt Hood Substrate: Conifer ground Other: Appeared to be growing next to downed logs (see pic) - found two clusters in a scenario like this. Clusters ranged from many to very many mushrooms..... 20-60?
Gills: Type: Ridges Color: Blackish Attachment: Running down the stem Other: This looks like a clustering black chanterelle.
Stem: Black, lighter color on inside. All mushrooms appear to be joined at a central point where they are attached to the ground
Cap: Just like chanterelle
Spore print color: Spores appear to be white when looking at the caps of the cascading mushrooms of the cluster.
Bruising: none noticed
Other information: not much else. my guess is: Polyozellus multiplex. i've read that they are called 'clustering blue chanterelles' but mine are definitely black. i'm holding onto the clustering blue because of the white spores.
I want to eat these, i have an abundance, but want clarity on them, first. one cluster weighed maybe 4 pounds.. outrageous to me.
MUSHROOM #3

I think this is a honey mushroom? the smell makes me want to eat it...!!
MUSHROOM #4

I was told this does not sit will with some people and cause nausea and diarrhea.
I only used my 55mm 1.8 and so all the other habitat photos and stuff didn't turn out... low light conditions :/ I'll do better next time! Also, check my signature for my photography thread. I attempted some new stuff (most which failed) but i haven't updated it in a while so please visit if interested

This looks like Polyozellus multiplex, which I found earlier this year too.

i'm fairly convinced.
have you consumed them before? Any suggestions on how to prepare them? My first thought was to cut a bunch up and put them into some spaghetti. maybe some garlic/butter like regular chanterelles
thanks coen!

#2 looks more like a Craterellus than a Polyozellus to me. Polyozellus should have a definite violet color to them. How do they smell?
Cut one in half and let us see that.
They should be hollow, cone shaped tubes, darker on the upper/inner surface, and flaring at the top. The individual caps should be thin fleshed and brittle.
Not all Craterellus species are good to eat. They aren't poisonous, but they may be disagreeable. The ones that are good to eat have an appetizing odor.
There are also Thelephora species that can look somewhat like that. I wouldn't eat any Thelephoras.
-------------------- Happy mushrooming!

1 might be Hypholoma 2 might be Polyozellus multiplex, like Coen mentioned or maybe Craterellus cornucopioides or fallax 4 looks like Russula, did they bleed latex? 5 Gomphus floccosus

#2 when googling images for the c. cornucopioides i got images that were not clustered in a way there there were multiple caps on one large central stem, but rather images that showed several mushrooms in close proximity.
#4 (or #3?) did not bleed. i cut it and all i saw were some maggot trails and thats about it. the smell was still very strong - kinda sweet and creamy smelling. When i cut a sliver out i also saw some small maggots and some little holes so perhaps i'll toss that one.
Thank you

Here is an image of one piece of the clump cut in half. Outlined in orange is the area that is cut through - yesterday the inner flesh was significantly lighter in color when cut through as you can see in the upper left portion of the image. the red arrow is pointing to the cap texture - somewhat flaky/scaly, or curled. The white textured looking part on the right side i believe are spores from a cap that was above that one.
I would not describe the caps as brittle but kind of firm and more 'leathery' than brittle.

The color of the mushroom itself is my biggest deterrent for consumption. It appears to be much darker than any image or ID i've seen so far... but looks closer to the polyozellus than some of the other IDs... to me..

Certainly the cross section looks more like a Polyozellus than a Craterellus. The color is enough of a deterrent that they shouldn't be eaten.

i feel like i'm getting annoying now.
by color you mean the 'blackness'? or the color in the cross section of the mushroom? if its the color of the section what should i expect in the future?
