ID request?? (non-actives)

Well, I'm still pretty new to this, and I still don't have a good field guide so I'm just trying to figure out what these are! Any help greatly appreciated!! I'm not very good with terminology yet so please correct me if I'm wrong! There are three different species though.
#1 - Possibly amanita franchettii?? Not sure.


Habitat: It was right next to a creek, in some soil mixed with various tree debris.
Gills: White, I think they are what you would call "free" but I can't tell the difference between gill types based on pictures that I've seen, so...I'm not sure.
Stem: Whitish, thick, not fragile, membranous annulus present.
Cap: light brown, to dark brown in the middle, broadly convex, with white/grayish speckles on top that flake off when touched.
Spore print color: Bright white
Bruising: No color change was observed.
Location: Humboldt county, california
#2 - Someone suggested these could be "false chanterelles"



Habitat: Growing near a fallen tree, growing amoung weeds and grasses near dead tree.
Gills: Uhh, Decurrent? Subdecurrent? very thin around the edges of the cap, light orange.
Stem: dark brown/orangish. Easily breaks.
Cap: bright orange/light brown, to deep brown in the center. Uplifted, umbilicate.
Sporeprint: Unsure. I only spore-printed one, and it seemed to come out whitish to a yellowy off-white, but that could be because a roommate picked it up and moved all my mushrooms around while I was waiting for the spores to drop.
Bruising: None that I noticed
Location: Same, Humboldt.
#3 - No clue, found under white plum tree.





Habitat: Growing in clusters underneath our white plum tree, sort of in a ring around the tree, but with small concentrations of shrooms growing tightly together, the caps are all smooshed and cramped together, some growing separately. Also, some are almost completely under the grass and leaves with just the top of their white/brownish caps exposed.
Gills: free (i think), white/pinkish gills, close spacing. Not visible in younger ones.
Stem: thick, white, notice the tiny mushroom growing off of the bigger ones stem in the first pic?
Cap: young: parabolic, with what I believe is a "cortinate partial veil"---you can't even see the underside of the cap in young specimens, as the cap is tightly curved back to the stem. In older specimens, the cap is convex-broadly convex (except the ones that are growing all smooshed together tend to keep that parabolic type shape). They are white, with the older ones showing brown browning from the center that fades toward the edges and has cracks. Some of the caps had yellow spots on the sides, not sure if this is just stuff from outside getting on them or what though...
Sporeprint: in progress...
Bruising: none.
Location: Humboldt, Cali
Hopefully that was specific enough!
Thanks for any help!

The amanita looks like a panther cap to me, hallucinagenic when cooked/dryed.

Wouldnt really suggest eating Amanitas though... really not good for your liver apparently, also can kinda give you muscle spasms and that.

nice id request and good pictures the firt one really resemble amanita pantherina but more close up of the volva are required. 2 may be a false chanterelle hygrophoropsis aurantiaca is also edible but i´m not sure spore priny should be whiteis also edible
3 is an agaricus maybe a no edible one i see few yellow bruising in the cap

yeah, that baseal structure looks rather indistinct more than the most tentative and provisional placement, as amanitas are concerned. Even where it to be A. pantherina, this species is still dangerously toxic and should not be experimented with willy nilly.

Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it. If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

As cactu noted, number 2 looks to be a false chanterelle. I heard it's considered edible, but not recommended. I found some the other day and the smell put me off any notion of consumption.
As was stated above, number 3 is some type of Agaricus. Yellow-staining is a bad sign as far as edibility goes. The yellow-staining Agaricus I find around these parts (A. xanthodermus) have a foul chemical smell (chlorine?) and are considered poisonous.
- forgot to mention that smell and bruising/staining is important in identifying Agaricus - and many others. Crush the base of the stem and observe any staining or scent.

we sure do that the most fun part, i was thinking to be a fare contest , a person will have to stat the contest by tell all the participant that in about a period of time led say a half hour picture will, be posted, so this give time to people that like to get into the contest post in the same thread saying i´m in i will wait for it, no more post allowed until the contest end , only for entering the contest , then a few minutes after the original poster will post the pictures it will said get ready , then go post the pictures, and rock and roll , ,i see that to do this will have to need good pictures good description, ha ha what you guys think is a crazy idea i think it could be lot and lot of fun , maybe we can bet in the treat to don´t know , is impossible is understud what i say haha come on ...
