I realize I made a big post, any/all IDs are welcome, I'm just trying to increase my knowledge base here by identifying different mushrooms. I tried to ID everything but have little experience doing this so correct me as I'll surely be wrong!
Species 1: Probably just a LBM Species 2: Polyporus elegans Species 3: Russula xerampelina? Species 4: Probably just a LBM but the cespitose growth threw me off Species 5: No idea! Species 6: Lepiota procera Species 7: Russula brevipes
Species 1
Habitat: Found growing in a covered up pile of dirt/soil/possibly manure, growing cespitose and gregarious Gills: Brown and seemingly free attachment, close gill spacing Stem: 1in in length, <0.5cm in diameter, light orange, hollow and thin Cap: 1in in diameter, creamy brown and orange, smooth, and wavy margin
Species 2
Habitat: Growing directly off mossy wood, probably alive Gills: No gills... or pores? Stem: 1in in length, <0.5cm in diameter, brown and solid Cap: 3in in diameter, light orange and light brown, smooth, plane
Species 3
Habitat: Alongside trails and directly from dirt Gills: White, adnate, crowded Stem: 2in in length, 0.5in in diameter, white and solid Cap: 2-3in in diameter, purple/maroon/light red, smooth, broadly convex
Species 4
Habitat: Found directly in the dirt growing cespitose Gills: Grey/light tan, adnate, crowded Stem: 2in in length, <0.5cm in diameter, white and solid Cap: 1in in diameter, brown/tan, slightly bumpy, hemispheric
Species 5
Habitat: Found directly in the dirt, solitary Gills: Vibrant orange and pink, subdecurrent, somewhat subdistant spacing Stem: More of a stump, 1in in length, half an inch in diameter, same colors as gills Cap: 3in in diameter, nearly same color as gills/stem but more orange and less red/pink, bumpy, uplifted and umbilicate
Species 6
Habitat: Found directly in the dirt growing solitary Gills: White, adnexed or free (cant really tell), crowded Stem: 6in in length, <0.5cm in diameter, white and solid, bumpy and has slight husks? Cap: 2-3in in diameter, white/light brown, smooth, broadly umbonate
Species 7
Habitat: Found directly in the dirt, solitary Gills: White, subdecurrent, crowded Stem: 1in in length, 0.5in in diameter, white and solid Cap: 3.5in in diameter, white/some light tan, smooth. Convex and umbilicate? possibly just uplifted and umbilicate.. not sure

I didn't check every ID but from what I saw they were correct.
Excellent thread and format!

1) Psathyrella 2) Polyporus elegans 3) Its a Russula, probably not xerampelina. How does it taste? 4) Pholiota 5) Hypomyces lactiflorum, a great edible 6) Its a lepiota but definitely not L. procera. 7) Russula brevipes - This is the mushroom that Hypomyces lactiflorum colonizes.

Yea its really awesome and it makes the Russula brevipes taste a lot better, too bad we don't have them in our area.
The hypomyces never takes all of them, you usually find both Russula and Hypomyces nearby.

Yes, species 2 and 7 i was almost positive on, and I knew I had the genus right for 3 and 6. Thanks for the IDs Alan.
Species 5 I found the most interesting, so bright and colorful I'm eager to try it. I'll check the taste on the russula

I always find those lobsters mushrooms, and they all have something eating them already! I want to try them so bad, but every one I find something has gotten to it first. They're neat and often are really misshapen, and really cool looking.

Yea the bugs get them fast.
When you find one, look around in the leaves for other smaller ones that are less bug bitten, they usually fruit with several in a ring. If they are all bad then you need to go sooner after it rains.
