Identification Needed

Hi, I'm new, very new, to mushroom hunting. I took a stroll around my land today and I'm curious to see what type of mushrooms these are! I have zero experience, and no possible clue to what they could be. These pictures may be uninformative, I'm just looking for possibilities. I'm interested in edible and active mushrooms. All tips are welcome. I have read many threads but the only shrooms I've found do not look familiar at all. I do intense research on all matters of subject, so if you guys could be so kind to point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated!
Like I said, this post isn't for a determining answer, just possibilities.
I live in West Virginia. These are pictures of 3 different mushrooms. They were all located in moist moss, under trees. I'm assuming they are the same species, of course.




I did not pick these mushrooms, for if someone might know what they are, I want to be able to get an answer and an accurate spore print.

Not sure what you have there. But those mushies look pretty interesting.
If you are after active mushies, here are the species that are known to grow naturally in your state:
West Virginia Gymnopilus junonius Gymnopilus luteus Panaeolus cinctulus Psilocybe caerulipes Psilocybe cubensis (rare) Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata
This list came from this post, check out this post for more information that will help you find active species. At the bottom of the second link, there are a few resources listed that should be very helpful.
Mushroomexpert.com and mushroomobserver.org are great resources to find more information about those active species in your area.
Mushroomexpert.com will provide background information for a given genus/species and in most cases will also include a key to help tell one genus/species from another.
Mushroomobserver.org will help you find species that grow in your area, by providing photographs of the species in their natural habitat and other information.
Also, FUCK YEAH WEST VIRGINIA!!!! LET'S GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!

Thank you, the pictures look like a match. Active, edible, or poisonous? edit: I found the answer right away.
