Uk mushroom ID please

Hello fellow shroomers, been a while since I’ve been active on the site or even actively mushroom hunting to be honest. A few lifestyle choices have led me to no longer hunt for actives to pick but just to observe their beauty instead, however I was always interested in all types of actives and non actives especially mushrooms with culinary value. Recently becoming the owner of a new dog and moving to a lovely countryside part of Kent, southeast UK my dog walks seem to have highlighted my love for mushrooms once again as I notice lots of specimens popping up at the moment.
I seem to have also lost my field guide which was very helpful in identifying some basic fungi so will be ordering an up to date one soon!
I was hoping someone could assist in identifying some of the species I have come across recently please? Not being active on here has caused me to forget some basics in picture taking, spore prints etc. So apologies in advance if I have not got essential pics or characteristics available.
First species was found on the edge of a deciduous forest mainly of beech and oak in patchy grass between the forest and a farmers feild. I think possibly could be A. Rubescens due to the striations on the skirt and slight pinkish bruising on base of stem but would be keen to here from a TI 
Gills are white, crowded and free from the stem
Stem is scaly, off white to grey and approximately 7-8cm tall. There is a prominent skirt with striations which can be seen. Base of stem is bulbous, with slight pinkish colouring where damaged
Cap is light brown with white warts and approximately 6-8cm across.
No spore print collected. :/
Bruising seems to be the slightly pink specks on the base in the pics
Pics:



Next species, a Russula possibly R. virescens or R. Parazurea
Found in leaf litter of deciduous woodland.
Gills are white, free from stem crowded and brittle
Stem is pure white
Cap is grey possibly greenish in places darkening towards the centre to almost black.
No spore print or bruising details
Pics:




Next is an Aminita species found in the leaf litter of mixed woodland.
Gills are white, crowded, free from stem.
Stem is approximately 10cm, white at top end leading down to a beige/brown colour towards base in a zig zag scales pattern. Prominent smooth skirt on stem, cream in colour
Cap is approximately 8cm across, cream in colour with a very slight tint of an olive green shade to it. It appears to be shiny with warts
No spore print/bruising details
Picture of gills is of a different specimen of the same species found next to it, weirdly the veil had not yet come completely away from the underside which looked pretty cool 
Pics:




Last but not least a bolete, possibly an orange oak bolete? I didn’t want to disturb this too much so did not get as much detail for identification
Found growing seemingly from the soil in mixed woodland although possibly from wood beneath the soil surface.
Specimen has pores, white in colour from the brief look I took.
Stem is white with black flecks all over. Approximately 8-10cm in height
Cap is a rusty brown/orange colour, seemed dry to touch. Approximately 4-6cm across
No spore print/bruising details
Again due to not wanting to disturb this specimen there isn’t a great deal of pics, here are the few I took:



Apologies for lack of details and photographs!
Any identification possibilities I have made are due to a small amount of research I have done, would be very appreciative of any identification from the experts on here and any feedback is gladly welcomed too.
Many thanks in advance

Strong possibility liberto, although I’m not sure it’s green enough from looking at pics of other aeruginea’s, definitely possible though with all the different shades you can get
