Oregon Shrooms I.D. Request (Large Pictures)

Me and a friend went exploring in a large forested park looking for mushrooms. We really had not much intention to eat them seeing is how we both have a very limited idea of what we should be looking for, but we found these which look very promising.
I would love to know if ANY of these are at least EDIBLE, I know the information I have given is a bit limited but we worked pretty hard to get these and it would REALLY suck if one of us died because we ate any of these fuckers...
All of the mushrooms that we found were in a moist mixture of deciduous trees with scattered coniferous trees in the midwest part of Oregon about 2 hours from the coast.
These are the biggest of what we found. As you can see they are pretty big in height as well as cap size; they were found in a hidden little patch in some goopey mounds of dirt covered by leaves, they also had a very thin light blueish fuzz covering the stems which washed off with a little scrubbing. The cap is light brown and the stems had some flakiness before washing, the gills are light brown in color. I have a sneaking suspicion that these may be pretty poisonous...

Heres a different angle of the caps:

Heres a collection of a different kind we found. They are light grayish brown and have very light brown/grey gills.

Closeup:

Heres the third kind we collected, these are very deep light brown and the gills are light brown/white.

Closeup:

Here is the fourth, and in my opinion, most promising of the kinds that we found. These have very tall, thin, dark, but sturdy stems and have very small light brown/purpleish caps. Possibly Mycena?

Closeup:

Here is the final picture I took, these are random species that didnt really fit into the collections that we made. Mostly I really liked the bulbous one, and the other two are just loners really.

Closeup:

Well thats it! I threw away some other ones because there were either too few of them to really go into a group, or they just made me nervous.
NOTICE: I DO NOT PLAN TO EAT ANY OF THESE UNTIL THEY ARE DRIED AND IDENTIFIED FOR SURE. EVEN IF THEY ARE "IDENTIFIED" I WILL PROBABLY NOT EAT THEM ANYWAYS AND JUST USE THIS AS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
Once again, I am NOT 100% sure that any of these will be ingested even if they are identified. I would love to hear what what they are though! Mushrooms fascinate me

Hit back on browser, copy entire post, go to edit and hit paste... or just update image links. They disappear on initial post for some reason.

Uhm, when you post in the ID section for some reason it removes the links to your pictures. (also if you preview) so you have to select the text of your origional post, post it, hit edit, paste over it and confirm the edit to have your pictures show.
Don't ask me why.

CptnGarden, it could be that it only happens for people within the 30 day waiting period (we get an extra prompt before posting). I noticed that only recently registered people experience it. I wasn't too worried about it, but I will make a post there.

they would all make great compost

it would help a lot if that were the case, we dont want newcomers of all people having problems, it might discourage some people from using the forum for ID's.

im not sure what some of them are, but if u were to eat some cortinarius or inocybes, you may very well end up in the hospital (not necessarily die), or at least get very ill.
some lepiota are also poisonous.
i dont see anything thats a common "edible worth eating" in there, and none of them are active. wait for a "trusted identifier" if u want to confirm, but if u wanna know EXACTLY what they are, your gonna have to play by the rules and provide ALL the proper information including a spore print color, what EXACTLY they were growing on and any trees above/around them.
i would just throw them in the compost though.

The last "bulbous" one looks like a Shaggy Parasol button MAYBE.

If you cut it does it stain gold then turn red?
I eat those often, but there are look-alikes so you have to be careful.
