    #0014 & #0002 - Might be Agaricus or Lepiota/Chlorophyllum, need more info than is in the photo. Do you have a more mature specimen, with the cap opening up? Does it smell of almonds?

    #0013 - Could you describe the underside of these, eg. are there spongy pores or gills under a cap, or are they globe-shaped? This could be a few things; for example I've seen a large bitter bolete in this sort of habitat, shoving its way up through the stones, looking basically like this.

    #0007 - I should have at least a guess... will think on it.

    cheers,
    frog

    Not sure what the two pictures on the inside are, but I am sure that neither are worth bothering with as an ediable. As for the two outside photos, were they growing under or near a conifer? Usually a hemlock in the northeast. The caps barely stick out of the ground you have to dig them out of the soil.

    #3 - a Hypholoma after the rain? (just something to get you thinking about it, to verify (or prove wrong with a spore print) - not a doctrine of proclamation).

    Hi all,
    Thank you for your replies. The mushrooms depicted on the 2 out side pics are growing under a hemlock. They are the ones pictured in my second post. have grown a lot and have brown gills underneath the cap.
    Cheers,
    Bert

    The two outside photos look a lot like Agaricus augustus, but check for yellow staining and almond odor.
