Hello again. I saw quite a few different mushrooms growing in relatively the same area around my place, so I thought I'd photograph them and get you guys to help me ID 'em. :O Appreciated in advance.
Species 1:


--cap: yellowish white with a light yellow indented center; gills extend beyond the cap --gills: light yellow --stem: white --substrate: sand/soil
Species 2:

--cap: spherical, puffy, solid, tannish off-white --gills: (hidden) --stem: white --substrate: sand/soil
Species 3:


--cap: white --gills: white --stem: white --substrate: sand/soil
Species 4:


--cap: 'sand dollar' shape with brownish center; white/off-white --gills: white/greyish --stem: white --substrate: sand/soil

The first one looks like an amanita like the third. The third on looks like the "Destroying Angel". I think that is what it is called. I get that and the "Death Cap" confused. Anyway it will probably kill you if you eat it . So dont eat it. They kinda look as if they could be the same thing, just at different stages of age/development.

The first one is pretty interesting, I have never seen a mushroom with gills that extend past the cap. I am pretty sure it is a Russula.
The second one could be an Agaricus or Leucoagaricus, pictures of an older specimen is required.
The third looks like an Amanita ocreata, the destroying angel, but we would need to see the base of the stem to tell for sure.
The fourth could be a Lepiota.

I'll bet that the pellicle just rotted away from the edge.

Exactly
On second thought, how about Tricholoma for #4?

Thanks guys . I find it fascinating that so many fungii will grow in the same area. All 4 of these mushrooms were growing within a 50 foot radius.
Also, I've found a few of these "Destroying Angels" around the area I live (very close, in fact). Are they native to Florida/tropical places, or maybe just places where it rains alot?
I'm going to have to buy myself an identification book ASAP.

that a good place , your first mushroom are some type of russula i may say in the foetida complex,many russula have a complex as in amanita and other that look alike, sometime their only differences in size, color, microscopic features etc. for example is the emetica complex, many mushrooms are like emetica just in aging show some other characteristic ,in russula is very important to observe all specimen in different stages of grow, to really now the specie, sometimes, is very common to find the gill exposed cause the cap is really thin and more thin in this foetida complex, that why they see as a striate margin but really is the cap is so thin that the gill show easy in this cap some of the cap break and show the gill or was peel off by animal, aging ,and rain,very common in russula foetida, thats all so why i never bother with russula their don´t taste so good and they end being noting once you cook then don´t have to much meat, jaja. your second specie look like agaricus maybe your next one is a withe deadly amanita is important to show the base in amanita to know more about it your last specimen is for mi point of view another amanita...... all my best
