3 might be laccaria. 1 - possibly chicken of the woods, like you say - it may be worth your while to get your wellies on.

1) http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Laetiporus_gilbertsonii.html
2) Hard to say, maybe Leratiomyces riparius
3) Laccaria amethysteo-occidentalis
4) Lactarius species, take note of the latex color.
5) You are right, Helvella dryophila
6) Maybe Tricholoma dryophilum
7) Russula species
8) Tremella aurantia
9) Maybe a Clitocybe species
10) ?
11) Lactarius alnicola
12) Probably Lactarius xanthogalactus

I think that 4 might be Lactarius rubidus, the candy cap.  Dry a few out and see if they smell like maple syrup/brown sugar. 

Also, were the caps extremely fragile?  Snap off easily?  Spore print is white to yellow.

The easiest way to tell would be the latex color, which isn't shown. I have a feeling these have white latex...

Thankyou! Do you know if any of these are edible? I am especially curious about Laccaria amethysteo-occidentalis. I am getting ambiguous answers searching the web. Also candy caps, you are saying, will have a white latex when broken open?

Laccaria amethysteo-occidentalis is edible as far as i know and a user on here that knows his shit thinks they taste kinda fishy, so i avoid them. Lactarius rubidus and L. rufulus both have clear to slightly milky latex. Rubidus will have hollow stipes MOST of the time and rufulus will have solid stipes typically. If the latex is milky, you don't have either and its probably L. alnicola

Laccaria amethysteo-occidentalis is listed as edible, but also as a hyperaccumulator of arsenic in areas with arsenic-rich soil.  That's what stopped me from eating any of the (beautiful) patch I found close to my work.  I actually just dried out a specimen yesterday for decoration.
