Good stuff, looks like you guys had fun last night!
3=Psilocybe species 4=Verpa conica, or maybe old stinkhorn of some kind, but stem texture looks wrong. Ima try and get your first one, and Alan's later but I gotta go to woik.
CC, thanks for the tip, and reminder of the word genera.

#3 is not a Psilocybe, Hypholoma, nor Psathyrella.
You got #4! It is Verpa conica!

Newly emerging Fomitopsis? Oxyporus? Sickly Laetiporus? HA... so you refer to utterly amorphous fungal blobs as "easy" heehee Actually those are really cool looking on the underside, are the strange pitted features diagnostic?
Second one is clearly a LBM.... Hmmm Stropharia of some sort? The gills look as though they will be developing that pretty purple color.

Check out this blob - it isn't what you think. If I had a picture of one cut in half it would be much easier... maybe.

Not a Laetiporus? Maybe Hydnellum, Pycnoporus, Gloeophyllum???
The weird pores are distinctive of the species. The genus has not been guessed. Also, Inski called his Amanita easy, and it was actually a species which doesn't occur in Europe or America, so 
You got the genus right for the Stropharia!

nope I remember dismissing it as a stunted Laetiporus until going back and collecting a few. Definitely not chickens and not even in the same family - in fact they aren't basidiomycete at all!
Trick questions.... Inski knew his Amanita wasn't and easy one, although it certainly seemed obvious.
Your weird pitted thing is cool, I'll look forward to it being unveiled.
Don't know what species of Stropharia you have - was it growing in wood chips? (i see the wood chips but they may be superficial right... though i doubt that)

Yup, you both got it. S. riparia. Well actually, it is a different species than the true S. riparia which is more common on the east coast. But we call it S. riparia for lack of a better name.

It is not Laccaria. I didn't find the sample so there are no micrographs.

Alan, I think yours may be Omphalina pyxidata.
