I think you are right with the third pic - common puffball. Now is the time!

Hello

First one looks like Wood mushroom (Agaricus silvicola) third one Scaly Wood mushroom (Agaricus placomyces). Always worth sniffing a fungi as the smells can be very distinctive and help in the identification.

Yes Keenteen, but please observe the gill colour, it is pinky brown, the Death Cap has white gills. It is one of those species that could be confused with a Death Cap if you don't know what you are doing.

Can see where you're coming from but three things suggest that Andy is correct with his suggestion of Agaricus silvicola (apart from the fact that the chap knows what he's talking about!)

1. The gill colour. The gills of Amanita phalloides are pure white throughout its life cycle. The gills of the photographed specimen are a clay pink/brown (between the pink of adolescence and the chocolate brown of maturity).

2. The Cap. The colour is right, but if you look closely you can see small fibrous 'scales'- These don't appear on A. phalloides - though note that sometimes there will be veil remnants present.

3. The lack of volval bag.

The difference between a tasty mushroom which compliments a nice dish and a deadly one which will melt your internal organs.

Nick

EDIT; Seems Mr. Overall beat me to it!
