Sup ladies and gents? I'm totally new to all this stuff, so go easy. We all started from the bottom. With that being said, I have a few specimen in question. These are a few I picked at work.
The mushroom in this photo was sitting all by his lonesome. I immediately thought puffball of some sort, as it was very squat, looked like a golf ball, and had cracks on the top of its cap. Spore print chocolate brown.

Second mushroom pictured looked different than the one I just mentioned. The cap is flat and irregular shaped. Aside from this, the two look identical. They were growing in a flower bed rich with mulch and growing quite gregariously and in patches. Here's a few photos:

The last little guy I found walking home from work. Growing in overgrown grass and muddy dirt from car tires. Spore print chocolate brown. It was different than the other 2 because it had pink gills instead of pale white to tan. Everything else the same as the other two.

After the spore sprints were finished, I noticed condensation had built up inside the cups I used. Does this affect anything?
Other notes: I've ruled out as many lookalikes as I can. All mushrooms have white flesh, no cap bruising, and there are no volva/cup attached. There is also no yellowing of any kind on the lower part of the stipes.
After doing my research, I've concluded all 3 I've found to be something in the Agaricus family (urban, meadow, ect). I have more info on these upon request.

The first two are likely both Agaricus, but the stipe is almost always an aid to identification (among other things). The third is perhaps a Hebeloma.

Thanks, Joie. Which one do you think is the Hebeloma? I have all pertinent info you need about the stipes. Just let me know.

I agree with Agaricus on the first row (the first two specimens look different than and last. The first picture in the second row doesn't look like one to me. Was its spore print the same color?
The last looks like A. campestris. If you find more check the ring is membranous and not felty/double layered.

Ah okay. I think my phone is playing tricks on me and scrambling all the photos up. I'm gonna hop on a computer and I'll edit this when I do.
Okay, I edited my first post for clarity. Joie and Geometer: are you guys referring to this one as the possible Hebeloma?

If so, this is one I just overturned. I didn't take this guy home so I don't have anymore info on it except the photo.
