Another Mushroom hunt I.D. Request

I went hunting again today in WA. I found loads of mushrooms, but their were far too many people their to go picking so i just picked one of each, hope these are ok. I've come to the conclusion that my camera is just not a good camera for detailed pics. I've messed around with the settings, and these are the best that I can come up with.
The First set of pictures I believe are the White Puffball?
Habitat ~ Very short grassy area, growing on the ground out of the dirt.
I don't know if their is a way to look at the gills or not, do i just cut them open? Also, I am unsure on how to take a spore print of these since their is no opening.
Completely White
No bruising color.




¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
Next mushroom.
Habitat ~ short grassy area, growing on ground
Gills ~ Open, and slightly wavy but mainly straight. tan in color
Stem ~ not hollow, brown. Not easily to break.
Cap ~ Dark Brown in middle to light brown on edges. Smooth and slightly Leathery. Little over 1" in diameter.
Spore Print ~ in process, but doubt that I will get one because the gills are really open.
Bruising ~ Darker brown.

Next mushroom.
Habitat ~ short grassy area, growing on the ground.
Gills ~ tan in color, open, very wavey
Stem ~ tan in color, not hollow, kind of bendy. not easily removed from cap.
Cap ~ dark brown on top to a light brown in middle to a darker brown towards base. little over ½ in diamter.
Spore Print ~ in process
Bruising ~ black on stem



¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
Next mushroom
I am thinking Agaricus

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Gills ~ Dark brown in color, straight, slightly open.
Stem ~ Easily shredded, dark brown, smooth, wormlike. and skinny.
Cap ~ Dark brown, no color change, ½" in diameter.
Spore Print ~ in process
Bruising ~ none apparent.


¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
If any of these are a possibility, i will go back out tonight, when no one is around this time, their is massive amounts of these guys.
All of them near a river, fishing game access area.
Any help is appreciated.
~ I hope i made this thread correctly.

Nothing active there.
The first ones are in deed puffballs. They don't have gills and once the make spores they are inedible. A rule of thumb with puffballs is "white is alright". If it's white on the outside and on the inside, then it is edible. I wouldn't mess with the little ones though.
The second and third ones will need spore print. Certainly not active and quite possibly poisonous.
The forth one is likely an Agaricus. Possible poisonous, possibly edible.
The last one is an LBM. It doesn't look like anything worth picking to me.
It's good you are getting out there. 
Every time you go hunting, the more you learn.

The white puffballs pretty good eating, or don't bother?

They have very little flavor and poor texture, sorta like grainy tofu.

I cracked it open, and some yellow liquid came out. Kind of ruined the thought of cooking and eating it for me. So I tossed it.

The puff balls that aren't pure white, clean, and smooth on the inside are not worth eating anyways.. when you see weird colors or texture in the middle, they are pretty much beyond the edible point.
