Northeast FL ID requests

I've just started to get into mycology lately, and it's very interesting. I mean, definitely, the ultimate goal of any of my mushroom hunts thus far have been to successfully find some active 'shrooms, but I enjoy the hunting nonetheless. Also, photographing fungi in the wild, active or not, is a worthwhile hobby.
All of the following were found in the same general area of a wildlife preservation, in northeast Florida (Jacksonville). The surrounding plants are pretty limited to trees and palm frawns. The ground is covered with pine-straw, and the dirt is very, very wet.
(I can't be sure that the following species are seperate, but I will differentiate them the best I can)
Species #1


Light brown cap-somewhat darker in the center, light brown stem, white/tan/transparent gills. Very small.
Species #2



All-white, though somewhat transparent. Very small (see denim fibers).
Species #3


Dark brown cap and stem, tan gills. Very small (see denim fibers).
Species #4

Growing out of a dead branch; gray-brown rings (darker toward center). Small.
Species #5


Species #6


Species #7


(very sticky)
Species #8


Species #9

Species #10


Species 11


Species 12

Species 13

1-3) Marasmius 4) Polypore 5) Could be a Cortinarius or Hebeloma or something else 6) Lepiota 7) Hard to say, maybe Tricholoma 8-9) Unknown 10) Could be an Armillaria 11) lbm
Nice camera, the first pic is pretty cool.

I appreciate the pic-quality comments. I really love the camera, although I'm just borrowing it (possibly permanently?).
Also, thanks much alan for the id's. I'm very interested about the identity of species 9. I found it growing in very shallow ground, and the odd shape sparked my interest so I felt I had to take a picture of it.
Also, is there any way to classify "lbm's"? I mean, if an lbm were to contain psilocybin how would a hunter know the difference between it and a poisonous one?

Yes, that one is very interesting. I have never seen anything like it. Almost looks like a Cordyceps. Do you know what the substrate was?
> Also, is there any way to classify "lbm's"?
Yes, almost every LBM has a scientific name. It sometimes takes some research to figure it out.

Most of the LBM's that contain psilocybin bruise blue and have dark spores, while the poisonous lookalikes do not bruise blue and have dark spores.

Oh okay. I've seen the blue bruising before but not on any of the lbm's I've handled thus far.
#9 might have been growing from something solid, but as far as I could tell it was growing straight from the soil (underground).

you are going the right way , try to take pictures of different angles, and in site, exactly as they where growing then you can move a bit to see the gill or volva, or if it growing in a tree, do you remember more details about number 9 specie, it look like spider web in there, it was growing from a stick or small ,leaves, you are one of the few that i bet have more possibilities to find a exotic active in the woods of florida, look in ravines, muddy places, in sandy soil, , i did not see many micorrisic there , mostly wood lovers, perhaps you need to get more deep , look in ravines, jaja all my best
