This Morning's Hunt! and a few questions regarding Augustus

All from Olympia WA off the Yelm Highway.
Now my first question regarding the Agaricus augustus is how come the shorter ones in the clump didnt have dark gills? They are almost white, some are barely tinted or noticeable but they HAVE to be Agaricus augustus.
ALL of these smaller ones are the ones I'm referring to.
Now on to this mornings hunt.



#1


#2


#3

Their gills don't turn brown until they start to produce spores. 
As in the Agaricus in #2. #3 is an Agaricus also.
I'm thinking #4 is Collyboid. I don't recognize #1 right off the bat.

That's what I figured... thank you.

Ah, you beat me to it, although I would had phrased them as being immature. Nice pics Booksaw.

No offense, are you positive on # 2 and 3? Only reason I'm inquiring is because #2 didn't have that HUGE stalk that was so impressive with each and every agaricus, I was 100% positive that it wasn't one. And #3 were found growing in grass, not at all the same location as #2. They are really fluffy and light, however they could be a different sub species of agaricus maybe? Grass loving?
Thank you so much for the help, I'm going to look up Collyboid here in a second.

Is it possible #2 could be an Amanita? I've found mushrooms that resemble it exactly. Did it have a bulb at the bottom of its stem?
Edit:Never mind. I didn't see the full mushroom picture above it.

Man, it sure would suck to eat this thing thinking it taste like almonds and getting an upset stomach cause I ate a species of Amanita!

If you look at the 3rd and 4th pictures, you can see it laying there on the bench, it has a bulb I believe and it is WHITE in person, WHITE as a ghost, not any color like the agaricus.

The stem's a bit long, but yes, they are Agaricus. Most Agaricus are grass-loving. Some are tree lovers and a few grow in manure. However, the Agaricus from the Xanthodermati section can make you sick. They stain yellow and smell like a utility pole.

If you have doubts, print it. Agaricus has brown spores, amanita has white. It certainly appears to be an Agaricus, though.

Sorry, I had to pop out real quick. But yeah, I was giving those as an example of the gill color when young. In Pic. 2 & 3, you can see that they are actually a pink beginning to turn brown, and if you look closely, you can see brown spores on the veil that is tearing away.
