A couple for ID and a question

These were taken today after I escaped from decorating for an hour.

The question is - when I post images for ID are there things I need to consider to assist people? I would think that the images above are OK as I would assume that they are quite common (because even I can find them).

Thanks JohnB

This is just an ignorant newbie's guess, Jaybie, but I would say no. 2 is amanita fulva, the tawny grisette.

agree with Amanita fulva; first is Gymnopus confluens (or Collybia confluens - same thing, different taxonomic concept); third I would say looks very like a Ganoderma - probably G. australe, but I always like to check the spores of this genus . . .

cheers
