Hi, it's my first time looking for actives and first time posting. I haven't done any hunting/identification of fungi in years so it's probably not as good as it could be.

All found in outer Eastern area from Melbourne

Many of these are similar but with enough differences that I felt I should separate them.

#1

Habitat:
Found in Eucalyptus bark & leaves. Area is mostly native Eucalyptus and Acacia trees.

Gills:
Yellow-tan,

Stem:
5cm long, colour is a mix of white & brown, "stringy",

Cap:
Diameter 5cm, colour is rusty in centre and fades to whiter at the edges, spongy texture,

Spore print colour:
lightish brown

Bruising:
none obvious

#2 & 3

Habitat: Found in clover patch with bark. Ivy growing nearby.

Gills: white-cream, bright white rim when fresh

Stem: white-brown (higher-lower), 9cm, fibrous

Cap: light brown-yellow-white (top to bottom), white rim when fresh, 1.5 & 2.5cm

Spore print: can't see anything obvious after 5hr

Bruising: bruises black-blue

Notes: Was much lighter in colour with a bright white rim when fresh (bag pic) but darkened after 20hrs

My guess is that this is a Psilocybe alutacea?

#4

Habitat: close by to Eucalyptus bark

Gills: white-grey

Stem: white, 1.5cm

Cap: Orange-brown, smooth, 1.5cm

Spore print: none

Bruising: none noticed

#5

Habitat:
Fount on rotting log but unsure of species. Clover, ivy nearby.

Gills:
vibrant Yellow

Stem:
1-2cm long, colour is white & tan

Cap:
Diameter 1-2cm, colour is rusty-brown (less orange than others)in centre and yellow at the edge, "fuzzy" looking texture,

Spore print colour:
very light brown

Bruising:
none obvious

#6 & 8

Habitat:
#6 were found the same rotting log same as #5 & and #8 was a nearby log

Gills:
bright yellow & rust brown

Stem:
2.5 & 3.5cm long. Colour is tan, rust and darker brown

Cap:
Diameter 7 & 8.5cm. Colour is rusty-brown and lighter in the centre. "smooth" texture,

Spore print colour:
light brown

Bruising:
none obvious

#7

Habitat:
Were found the same rotting log same as #5.

Gills:
yellow-cream

Stem:
2.5cm long. Colour is white & yellow.

Cap:
Diameter 1.5-3cm. Colour is dark purple-red. "fuzzy" texture with tiny dots.

Spore print colour:
brown

My guess was that this may be Gymnopilus purpuratus?

#9

Habitat:
Were found the same rotting log as #8.

Gills:
bright yellow & orange

Stem:
2.5-4cm long. Colour is white & cream. Fibrous.

Cap:
Diameter 0.75-2cm. Colour is light brown & orange with yellow at edges. "powdery" texture,

I appreciate any help from people.

2 and 3 are P-subs, that's about all ya find where you live. The rest you picked will more or less make you sick. I pick in the same area from time to time.

Never hurts to get a second opinion just to be sure. Especially from a forum expert.
