Can you help me identify these mushrooms? (Ireland)

Went for a walk through a forest in Ireland and decided I'd pick some mushrooms. This is my first time mushroom hunting so I'm not planning on eating any until I get more familiar with the different species. Can anyone recognise these mushrooms? I'm pretty sure the red ones are fly agaric but I'm clueless on the rest of them. I'll post spore prints when they're ready (if I've done it properly). Thanks for your help

I was really surprised how easy they are to find when you're actively looking for them. I wasn't expecting such a variety either, it seemed every corner of the forest had a different type of mushroom growing there

Armillaria Stereum Amanita muscaria Not sure Hypholoma No idea No idea Clitocybe Armillaria No idea
Welcome, try looking at the names I listed and see what you think. It is very helpful to show more features of each type, gills stem habitat.

All of these were growing at the bases of trees or on fallen logs etc. Would any of these mushrooms have been edible do you think?

I'll go by the pictures:
#1 Armillaria sp.
#2 close up shots, also of the underside, and more info needed.
#3 Amanita muscaria
#4 maybe Armillaria sp., gill shot needed
#5 gill shot needed. What did they grow from?
#6 gill shot needed, possibly Hymenopellis sp.
#7 maybe something like Russula nigricans or perhaps Tricholoma ustale. Younger specimen required.
#8 looks like Clitocybe sp.
#9 Armillaria sp.
#10 gill shot needed.

The first photo is Armillaria, common name honey mushroom. Considered edible.
The Amanita is edible after cooking but is a deliriant and you should read up on it's affects if you are considering it.

I'll take better pictures next time. Happy with a few IDs. Are there any dangerous species that look like Armillaria? Are they definitely armillaria in the picture? "Honey Fungus are regarded in Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Germany and other European countries as one of the best wild mushrooms". I'd love to try them but I'd hate to get sick over being too eager. I've heard about the amanita muscaria. I'll try it someday if I feel like going on a Viking rampage

Armillaria have a white spore print. Some dangerous things that grow in the same manner and place are Galerina (rusty spore print) and Hypholoma (purple brown to grey spore print).
I'm confident the first photo is Armillaria.

Did I do the spore prints wrong or did everything just have a white spore print? I left them down on a white piece of paper and there were hardly any markings at all there after an hour so I dumped them

You just can't see the white on white. Use paper bag or tinfoil or glass.

take the advice of RiverDweller1 about printing on foil, but leave them for much longer than an hour. with some species you'll see enough of an indication within a relatively short period, but it is generally suggested you leave them for about 18-24 hours. at times you might have to put one drop of water on a relatively dry cap and/or cover it with a cup or glass so it doesn't dry out while printing.
welcome and have fun out there.
