Getting the vibe- mushroom IDs needed

Question

Was walking through a particular university in West Aus after a 4 hr sleep and 3 hour exam when I got hit by the vibe. I had that this would be perfect for mushrooms idea. I stopped, looked to my right and bam, the first two. The rest were found within 30 meters of each other. It's great at a uni cause you can get all hands and knees, staring at the dirt with an iPhone and you actually look like you might be doing something important. You can look people right back in the eyes and think "maybe I'm a botanist/ mycologist...I'm doing serious work here move along!" You can look all academic and shit, rubbing you chin and looking around with a furious purpose. One person even walked over to see what I was gettin all hands and knees about! Apart from the Gym I know nuthing about these things...anyone???

Got a sweet post to make about extensive myco adventures in Thailand when I have time to sort photos. Was such a great experience it deserves a decent post.

Am on my phone atm so can't see the pictures in all their glory, but you've got (in order), Volvopluteus gloiocephalus, Leucopaxillus sp., Tubaria, Lepista, Entoloma, Agrocybe and Gymnopus.

I can say with certainty there's a Volvariella sp.

other than that, there might be a Pluteus sp (1st three pics), and either Ophalotus olearius or Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca

just a few euro cents

Volvariella gloiocephala is an old name, the current name is Volvopluteus gloiocephalus, because it has been found to be more closely related to Pluteus than other Volvariella species.

Im not seeing a Gymnopus or an Agrocybe. Gymnopus are very similar to Collybia - brittle white-gilled caps. Agrocybes can be large but are usually smallish (praecox, etc) and nearly always have a persistent veil.

First two look like an Agaricus species, Volvariella 4-6th, some weird Gym in pic 7 and 8, a very old Laccaria or what used to be called Stropharia aurantiaca in pic 9, unknown pic 10 and 11, 12 and 13 are quite old so hard to tell but I would guess a Pluteus species, last one is Lactarius - possibly clarkeae.

no way the first ones are Agaricus, most probably Pluteus or whatever Volvariella is now named
