What are these orange guys?? ID help please :)

I've been working on IDing these for days but no luck. They look so distinctive, it should be easy! I've got 3 species and lots of pictures, any help at all is appreciated.
#1 Habitat: NE USA, in a pine forest (with other trees like oaks around, but mostly pines), in the soil amongst lots of pine needles and fallen branches. They grow out of the soil.
Gills: Has gills. They're peachy-orange to green. When I first found some older ones about a week ago I thought the green might have been mold but I found some fresh and younger ones since then and they have the patches of green as well.
Stem: No ring. Solid inside w/ a grainy texture, not mealy. Thick. The inside is a creamy light-tan but the outside is light orange w/ patches of green.
Cap: Also tan-orangy-green. Smooth and dry. The caps are all wavy and the one I have pictures of has begun to fold upward.
Spore print color: Rusty.
Bruising: The stem turned a bright orange when cut and has since faded. Seems to bruise green.
Other information: Smells pleasantly spicy-fruity. I was thinking certain gym species might fit but those ones look to be exclusive to west of the rockies. I don't know if it's relevant but I've found about half a dozen in a weeks time. A few will be found growing together but come out of the soil separately, by which I mean you can dig one up w/o having to cut them from the rest.
Pics:




#2 Habitat: On mulch, underneath a tree. (I have no clue what kind, but I took a pic or it and I took a leaf so I can post if necessary. Trees are not my forte but it's definitely not a conifer or evergreen.)
Gills: Has gills. They're a pale cream color.
Stem: The stem has an exfoliated texture and is a bit wider at the base. It's solid white inside and cottony/fibrous. The stem separated very easily from the cap. The veil was still in place and is pretty stretchy. You can see the rusty-tan color on the outer half of the ring in the pictures.
Cap: The cap is rusty-golden, same as the stem, and also has the exfoliated texture. It looks hairy but doesn't feel that way. It is dry.
Spore print: I'm not having a lot of luck with a spore print, so far there's nothing there. If I base it off the color left on the ring, I'd say it's a rusty tan.
Other: No bruising when pinched or cut. It has a very light odor that is earthy (my sense of smell is pretty bad).
Pics:

#3 This one is less distinct than the others and smaller. Could be a gym, could be a Galerina, could be a lot of things I guess!
Location: Same pine forest as #1. I've seen tons of these all over. They tend to be on little rotting branches that have fallen and been buried by pine needles/debris. The white mycelia is also usually visible on the branch.
Gills: Has gills, a light orange color. I don't know the term for it, but you can see in pics that not all the gills go all the way in from the edge to the stem.
Stem: Orange, lighter inside. Lines run straight up and down it. Inside is solid and fibrous. There is no ring.
Cap: Orange, flat to convex and a bit wavy. No texture to speak of but they have a bit of a bump in the middle.
Spore print: Brown, slightly rusty-orange.
Other: They brruise to a slightly darker orange color. Odor is very similar to #1, spicy-fruity.

#2 looks like a prince (Agaricus augustus) You lucky bastard, I haven't found one this year and they are one of my favorites!
#3 I wanted to say gypsy mushroom (Cortinarius caperatus) at first, but I don't see the ridges in the cap or the veil. Not so sure now.
Wait for TI

Oh, #2 does look something like that! I must have skipped over it in my field guides. It's one of my favorites already just for how pretty it is - even better if I can (safely) eat it!

Lactarius, okay. That looks about right. These ones have been taunting me, so thank you!
