East Bay ID Requests

So i've been hunting a lot lately, mainly because its been raining like crazy (which is great for the drought )
Anyways, I have a few different specimens for you guys to try and help me with!
1)

 This is the main one I want identified, mainly because of its purple blackish spore print. I found it growing on some woodchips. I only took one because I wasn't sure what it was. The cap is white-ish cream-ish with a orangish dot right smack in the middle of the nipple. The cap is approx. an inch in diameter. The stem is pretty thin, which confused me because i thought it was a stropharia or leratiomyces, but i know they have much thicker stems (having picked buttloads of them thinking they were active ) The stem is about 2.5 inches. spore prints (one with flash on, the other off)


2)

 This one's interesting because i thought at first it was one of those weird black things that fall off of that one type of tree, but nope! any guesses? Found a ton under a tree in some soggy grass.
3)

 This ones just really cool lookin'. Found next to a stack of logs.
I know I didn't give a lot of info for the last two, I just wanted to show you guys

I am not a TI so wait for confirmation but I think that they are:
1. Psathrella 2. Helvella a.k.a. the Elfin Saddle 3. Clitocybe Nuda a.k.a. the Blewitt

#1 is not in the Psilocybe genus, if that is what you are wondering.
#2 looks like Helvella Dryophila, although it could be H. Vespertina.
#3 looks like a blewit (Clitocybe nuda). What's it smell like/did you get a spore print?

I thought #1 was of the psilocybe genus but then i realized that theres no species that looks like this that grows over here in the pnw I did not get a spore print for #3 but it smelled like some sort of good fragrance if that makes any sense. Thanks for the ID!

1 is Psathyrella corrugis
3 is the undescribed species that passes for Clitocybe nuda on the west coast of the USA.

Smells like apricots/lilacs/earth to me. I haven't cooked one up yet, but they are edible if cooked. Let me know if you decide to eat one! I'm curious about recipes.
