Top looks like a Volvariella, and the bottom is Leucoagaricus leucothites. Neither appears to be an Amanita, of course I could be wrong since the photos don't show all the necessary details.

I had the second one identified as a smooth lepiota. The first one however intrigues me. Are there white ones of that kind in N.E. U.S.? I found them growing near some amanita bisporigera in open grass and assumed they were the same. I should have taken a photo of it in it's habitat and not on top of a log. That's a bit misleading. I will make my game better next time. These are just the only photos I had.

there are all white Volvariella sp. growing in the mid-atlantic US and yours, from what i can see, looks exactly like the examples i have found growing on dead wood.

Beautiful and Deadly- well, I should post a picture of my own damn self!
But I guess we are supposed to post mushrooms?

Ah, yes the wood was one of the factors that made me say Volvariella. Also, if it had a veil then it's obviously an Amanita.

Yup. No eating that one. I will make sure I make a better game for everyone to play next time. I'll get some better photos. These were just all I had on hand. <3 Thanks for playing and thanks for teaching me about paddy mushrooms.

Not a pro, but black cat I think:
- I forget the name, not really conspicuous? - Destroying angel (annulus among other things) - (very toxic) - Earthball (toxic) - Giant puffball - Maybe some kind of Agaricus? - An amanita? The volva is a bad sign - Puffballs

I'm no pro, but I think this is a galerina of some kind popping out of this road?

I'd love to know if you all think these are deadly webcap or not.. I'd like to use them for my poisonous mushroom thread. I don't think I'll get to a specific species level, but they look very much like an Orellani gp. species to me. Rusty colored spores.
Habitat - damp, mossy open area in a city park. Near to conifer trees.
These are a few of a group that probably contained hundreds over around 10 x 20 feet or so.

I'm most familiar with the species found in the Pacific Northwest - those found in other parts of the world may vary considerably, so always do your own research to find out what grows in your area and what lookalikes you need to be aware of. Understand that many mushroom species cannot be 100% reliably identified by photographs alone, even by an expert, so it may not be possible to go beyond suggesting a probable genus.

Two more for confirmation - I suspect both of these to be Galerina marginata - one old one young.

Mushrooms on the left look more like Pholiotina to me.

This is a very nice picture, but it would have been an excellent picture if we could see the top of one of the caps, it is still a beautiful picture.

They could be cortinarius but I can't see enough details to be sure, I think I can see what is called cortina on the stipe with spores.
