Are you sure the spores are brown in the first cluster of mushrooms? In the second picture I think I can almost make out some white spore deposit on the tops of some of the lower caps.
If the spore print is brown, its probably a Pholiota. If the spore print is white, it is likely to be a Collybioid species.
The second mushrooms are interesting, but I can't tell you what they are without seeing the underside of the caps. Spore print color would help as well.
> Appear to have indentation on top middle
The indentation you speak of is called an umbo.
Number three is also interesting, again I'd need to see a good picture of the gills and also the bottom of the stem where it connects to the ground. Are you sure it has yellowish brown spores? My guess is Amanita, which would have white spores. If they are yellowish brown, I would need to rethink that.
Some pictures of the spore prints would help quite a bit, because the exact color they are makes a big difference.
Happy mushrooming!

Ok sounds like an Amanita.

That looks similar but yours has scales or something all over it.
Is this what you found? http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Amanita_magniverrucata.html

Maybe it is infected with Hypomyces.

I don't think so. An umbo is a convex, nipple like structure. What he is describing sounds like a central depression, or inverted umbo. There is not really a proper term for it unfortunately.

My guess is Amanita magniverrucata, the pine cone Amanita. You did say it was under pine.
None of the mushrooms you found are safe to eat, and they will not get you high.

I read it that way as well.

And seriously, who doesn't like nipples?
