Hard to tell. All of your photos are out of focus. The mushroom in the bottom, last photo in the back could be a mycenoid (inactive).

Non-active. Not sure of the genus.
It is helpful for identification if you can get gill shots and cap shots. The clearer and closer the better. Always good to see size (even if relative to a known object - coin, bic lighter, palm of your hand, whatever). Helpful to note any observed physical features, distinct scent, bruising, ring, etc. Understanding and describing the habitat, including surrounding trees helps (even if just hardwood/softwood forests). Learn how to take a sore print - the color of the spores can tell you a lot and rule out certain genus. Plus spore prints are beautiful.
I think you mentioned in another post that you purchased Stamets ‘psilocybin mushrooms of the world.’ Good read and helpful, though a little dated (doesn’t include psilocybe ovoideocystidiata). It might be good to buy yourself a general mushroom field guide. I also like mushroomobserver.org. Continue hunting, documenting, attempting to identify, and posting finds. It’s useful to take a stab at the ID, even if just the genus. Seek feedback and improve your documentation of finds.
As always, don’t eat anything without confirmation from a trusted identifier. You could kill or harm yourself or others.

Damn on the phone they looked good I didn't even noticed how they looked on here until you said something. I need to figure how best settings for up close pics lol. Thanks for the reply I looked those up and they do look similar ill post a pic here in a minute just to confirm.

Well good to know at least I figured not but looked similar to a few of the species I read about native to Georgia. And yes I need to give some better pictures I was on a hunt and took over 100 but this one was rather interesting to me but it started raining so I didn't have a good chance to snap more pictures. I will take some of those notes and keep them in mind, especially useful about putting a relative sized object next to didn't even consider that.
The spore prints are something that i'm working on I need to make a good area where I can do many at once currently just using my floor to hold collections I find and document them from there.
And yes I noticed Paul Stamets guide was a little dated but so far pretty useful as far as general learning. Any recommendations of a more current field guide I could purchase? I also have Mushrooms of the Southeast by Todd F. Elliot. I shall get better at my documenting I just usually find such a haul of different ones I lose track of sitting down and writing/making notes at all of them.
And I shall never eat unless confirmed. I actually ate my first confirmed field mushroom Lactirus Indigo and it was delicious

Are you just harvesting every mushroom you see?

If you wouldn't drink the flood water, then you shouldn't eat the mushrooms that grow there

Well yes and no, If I find a new species I try to take some so that I can ID them and start building my base of knowledge for different species. I'm not just interested in the magic ones. (although I'm looking forward to finding some!)
I want to be able to go out and find edible ones for cooking with as well so that I can also build my mushroom culinary knowledge. I may be posting many mushrooms but there are so many in Georgia it's hard for a noob like me to differentiate all the kinds.
I make sure to harvest them correctly (cutting at the base of stem) as to not disrupt the mycellium in the areas I explore.

Is that a widely accepted fact though? I forage in areas where I wouldn't really drink the water (in forest settings mostly) but there are mushrooms abundant. I mean honestly the area where these pictures were taken is next to a trail where the water isn't terrible but I probably wouldn't take the chance. If only I was in Colorado or something haha I'd sip them streams.
