Wild edible mushroom I.D.

Hi folks
I've found a few wild mushrooms (pics below) & am wondering if anyone can reliably identify them + whether they are edible?
The first 4 pics are of what I think are 'field-mushrooms' that were growing in grass in suburbia on Sydney's Northern Beaches.
The next 3 mushrooms were growing in decaying wood in nearby bushland on Sydney's Northern Beaches.
Also are there any poisonous look-alikes to these that I should be aware of?
Thanks!

Thanks MadMuncher
How confident are you that the last 3 are oysters? Just checking coz I know some shrooms can be highly toxic.
Ditto for the agaricus - are these likely to be safe to eat?
Are there any toxic look-alikes or are these likely to be safe to eat?
Ok I'll harvest & make some spore prints

held off on answering hoping someone else might chime in. i am not comfortable at all with agaricus species in your area. they are hard to id to species maybe somebody else can help
take more pics of the oysters. and spore prints.the white one maybe angel wings which are toxic in large quantities or something closely related if they're not oysters idk much about australian shrooms

Thanks MadMuncher
I appreciate you being conservative with your ID & recommendations.
Yes my protocol is, unless I am highly confident (either through my own knowledge, or very clear ID from knowledgeable member/s of this forum, I won't eat them.
Ok I'll take more pics & get some spore prints.

Hi folks
Anyone else have a minute to offer an expert opinion on whether these Agaricus sp and pleurotus sp are safe to eat?
Would be greatly appreciated, thanks

PS - yes I will go take more pics & do some spore prints, but in the meantime pls look at pics & I'd welcome your comments.
