Help needed with ID'ing Scots shrooms! 1

Hi there, I'm new to this site; so apologies in advance for any mistakes I make. I was out walking the dog up the Tummel Valley, in Scotland, today and collected these. The top right I know is girolle/chants; but the othe four types I am unsure of. The mushrooms at the bottom of the picture and the two in the top-centre were found in a grassy livestock field, near the river at the edge of the coniferous woods. The mushrooms, top-left, were found growing at the base of an old Beech tree.
Starting at the bottom-right:

Cap: conical to bell shaped. Mouse-grey to grey-brown. 1-3cm. Smooth and minutely felty. Gills: mottled grey to black, distant, doesn't seem to be attached to stem, but maybe at the top of the bell slightly. Stem: 2"+ long, thin, hollow, smooth and tan to dark-brown. Spore print needs more time but is initially looking black/mauve.
Bottom-left:

Cap: Hemispherical to umbonate. White to creamy glossy cap (the young ones have a little yellow on the umbo). Smooth with a Sticky film covering the mushroom. 0.5-1.5cm. Gills: Creamy-lilac in youngest to purple-grey and brown in the mature specimens. Not very crowded, attached to stem in all but oldest. Stem: Creamy white to a light tan. Not completely hollow but thin and slightly fibrous. Spore print is too early to say for certain (it is dark)
Top-left:

Cap: light brown/tan and egg shaped when young, with slightly darker umbo. Cap darkening and becoming conical as matures. Slight ridges on outside of cap to umbo. Slightly ruffled edges. Gills: Dark-brown to black. Narrow and crowded. Doesn't appear to be attached at stem. Stem: White to cream 1-2" long. Hollow 0.5-1cm thick. Spore print not done yet.
Centre-top

Cap: creamy-yellow to off-white, very conical with a slight umbo on some. 1-2cm. Smooth with feint lines running down the cap. Irregular edge of cap. Gills: off-white to brown, fairly crowded, and I am not sure if they attach at the top (although I don't *think* they do). Stem: White/cream. Hollow and fibrous. Slightly bulbous at base. 3-5" long. <1cm thick. No spore print yet.
Any help in identifying these will be a massive help; and although I am really looking for psychoactive mushrooms, any I can know will help. Thank you, in advance.

Ahhh what a bummer; no worries though, with every non-active shroom id'd I get closer to the knowledge. Thank you.

Your bottom right is a Panaeolus or Panaeolina. Your bottom left is Kenny G., Protostropharia semiglobata. Top left Coprinellus micaceus and centre-top sort of has has the shape of Conocybe apala or might be a Bolbitius if it was glabrous.

Hey cheers for I.D's Joie! Yeh, been rolling in chants. all summer here.
Any chance of helping me with these two I found today...

The solo:
Cap: conical, dark grey at umbo to white at rim, can see gills through cap. Gills: off-white, slightly crowded, not attached to stem. Stem: Light-ish mousey brown, thin fairly long.
The Duo:
Cap: hemispherical to slightly umbonate. Light at rim, a darker circle after that which you can see the gills through; then it looks lighter and slightly felty, and the umbo is a browny-orange. Gills: Light chocolate brown, fairly distant, attached to cap, with 3 short gills inbetween each full gill. Stem: creamy near the cap to brown further down. tapering from cap to base. slight white fluff at very bottom.
Thanks so much for all this help guys. Its really frustrating (and super dangerous) trying to do this without your help.

You're welcome. 
Maybe be hopeful, I think that on these boards we see nice Scottish P. cinctulus slightly more frequently than from the rest of the UK. The shot is a bit dark and we sometimes don't get to the bottom of these. If other shots confirm and if the spore print looks very black you could be in luck.
With the white gills though, probably Mycena. Lots look like it but M. leptocephala is one that is a bit common, maybe that.

I'm finding them in Scotland leggy.
Are you getting up above 300m? Go for a stomp up high and keep a look out in grassy sections of moorland sheep grazing. Peek in the grass tufts. Where you see the kenny gs you may be in lib country. Look in the lush tufty grass.

Yeah, we're doing it. Protostropharia semiglobata - slimy white jazz you only look at when it's too dark to tell the difference and time for Going Home. Arguably rhyming slang for Stroph semi-G.

I think it's only you Joie, and now me who call them that. You IDd some for me a few weeks ago. Had to search, you called them that when you IDd them for me two years ago too. Figured it out. Now it's a thing. You started a thing I think.
