| Re: Help with identification
For number 1, I'm guessing the particular hue of blue on the caps, stems and gills is an artefact of the photography. Is this right? There aren't many mushrooms come in this particular colour of blue - and the couple of larger species I can think of (both Entoloma species) have a different texture to the cap cuticle and would probably have pink gills by this stage from the ripening spores.
I think number 2 is a Lepista, maybe Lepista sordida.
Number 3 is more likely to be a Panaeolus that Stropharia semiglobata... but they are getting a bit past the stage when they could be identified.
I think you would need to see the spore colour before you could even narrow your pleurotoid ones down to genus. They could even be Pleurotus rather than Crepidotus, but it's hard to be sure without the spore colour.
