    I have found a few strange mushrooms in a play area beside my barn. I identified the common toadstool and some of the others but cannot identify the ones in the pictures
    Can anyone help me?

    Could be a Russula; see if they crumble up easily - and see if the stalk easily breaks in half (across the stem).

    I agree with MycoRob about likely Russulas.
    Also in photo 3 the mushroom below and left of the Amanitas looks to be a Russula as well.
    cheers,

    Ok here are some better pictures and the underside details. Also a new type of mushroom found. To explain this better all these mushrooms are found in a 15'x10' play area that fenced in just to the side of the barn .

    #1 in the new bunch is Helvella lacunosa, it is a treat to see it.
