Seeking ID for New Zealand shrooms.. (Pics!)

Hey hunters, There has been heaps of rain in my area lately (Auckland) so decided to go for a hunt this morning. My main hunting grounds had amanitas growing every few metres, but barely any other fungal activity, so I decided to try a nearby golf course. Found the following mushrooms:
(All mushrooms were found in a West Auckland golf course with pine, eucalyptus, and native bush surrounding the area. Substrate was mulch/bark) ______________________________
Mushroom one: Gills: - dirty grey/cream color - annexed - ?saw-tooth? alternating between long and short
Stem: - approximately 10cm long - approximately 1cm diameter - white/cream color - smooth but fibrous-looking - hollow stem
Cap: - approximately 9cm in diameter - colored rusty brown, faded to lighter brown on top - conical/spherical - possible remnants of a veil on edging
  ______________________________
Mushroom two: Gills: - yellowish/off-white color - attached - very crowded
Stem: - approximately 5cm long - approximately 1.5cm diameter - yellow/white color - solid stem
Cap: - approximately 7cm in diameter - colored caramel, yellow splotches - spherical
  ______________________________
Mushroom three: Gills: - cream in color - annexed - wavy gills, spacious
Stem: - approximately 10cm long - approximately 0.5cm diameter - white/cream color - hollow and fibrous stem
Cap: - approximately 6cm in diameter - color: dark brown nipple in centre, then caramel, then light brown on edge - conical with mild nipple - edging see-through
  ______________________________
Any help IDing would be cool, even if they aren't active. Cheers!

Hey Sif......your first pic is Hypholoma (Naematoloma) aurantiaca of unknown edibility.....in other words.....consider that deadly
2 Pic is most likely the very deadly Galerina genus
and last is Collybia/ Marasmius group.....one of the unknown billions that are similar in that group impossible to seperate by looking at this one......in other words......consider it deadly EDIT: just wanted to update this Marasmius I.D.....these are actually a type of Pluteus.....its one of the less frequent smaller clustered groups that have deadly look alikes......for purposes here consider these dangerous without further I.D.....my bad.
practice cutting the stems off and setting cap down flat gills down and see what color it leaves on the paper.....very useful tool when starting out to learn mushrooms and in general......and required by the rules so you dont get something poisonous misidentified by mistake....

Stropharia aurantiaca is midly poisonous - expect about 2 hours of solid diaherra post injestion... There are some species of marasmius that are edible - but i not sure whether that one is or not,

Cheers for that, shroominDole and bluemeanie. I've tried spore-printing in the past but wasn't too successful for me... (seems that being mildly colour-blind is a disadvantage in shrooming )
