First hunt ever - ID Please

So, today I went on my first hunt ever. I'm sure I haven't found anything too spectacular but still would like to know what I've got. It's been pretty dry in these parts (East TN) except for a big rain last night.
These first little guys I found in some cow dung and they are bruising dark purple:

I found this guy in some woods growing in some leaves and moss:

And these monsters were growing right next to it: (These are the strangest things I've ever seen as they are black and hairy and the gills on the bottom are more like pores (little holes), and the smaller one shows white on the bottom instead of black).



Thanks for the help. Sorry if I left anything out, go ahead and let me know so I can correct my mistakes.

The mushrooms you described as having pores are called Boletes- they differ from the gilled Agaric mushrooms.
These photos are far too blurry to begin to imagine what they might be. :-\
Also, please see this link on how to give proper ID info. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/5731447/an/0/page/0

First, Welcome to the shroomery
Second, Read the F.A.Q. 
Third, For some real proper ID, you are going to need non-blurry pics
Fourth, dont eat anything you found.
Fifth, ugh, have a good day and happy shroomin' .

Sorry about the poor quality, I'm poor and can't afford a good camera at the moment. I tried to retake the picture of the second mushroom, but it was blurry once again. It is tan and showing no bruising at all even though I picked it about 3 hours ago now. Here is the info on the second mushroom I photographed.
Habitat: Woods (East TN) - In leaves and on moss.
Stem - Tan/brown and woody feeling.
Gills: A tan/brown color. The gills are attached.
Cap: Tan/brown and very smooth.
Showing no bruising yet.
Location: East TN in woods.
================================
Also, about the big black mushrooms I found: They are very wet on the bottom, especially the big one that reminds me of a burnt hamburger bun. They also have the distinct smell of some kind of perfum. I think that they are Strobilomyces floccopus (Old Man of the Woods).
Maybe this will help, maybe not.
P.S. Not really planning on eating any of my findings anyways. Just got interested in seeing what I could find in my area.

No worries. One thing you might try is to hold the mushroom further away. 'Most' digital cameras can't focus on things less than about a foot away. Try holding it 2ft away and see if it's any better. It might look smaller, but it should be in much better focus.

Pictures are really blurry, there are two though that can be identified to genus even with the bad pictures, the mushroom in the first picture is in the genus coprinus and the one in the third picture is in the genus strobilomyces .
