First could be deer mushroom. Fourth probably witch's butter. Don't eat anything based on my guesses though! Second perhaps some species of Agrocybe.

Oh no these are not for eating, just for knowing.

All these photos were taken in my zone 4 area.

I will try to start a blue oyster project for food purposes this summer.

If you were in the UK like me, I'd say with confidence that this last one is either Scarlet Elfcup or Ruby Elfcup, and is therefore  edible! Not particularly worthwhile harvesting though in my opinion. Leave them for the elves

I feel that learning to ID mushrooms is a great experience.

If you do decide to try their edibility, it is best to learn from locals.

Here are some information on some books that you might want to check out:

I've seen this one before on cow manure; thin, grey, nearly translucesnt, fruits and spores in the span of a few hours at most. This is growing in a planter containing a compost mix from a local supplier, which has aged manure has one of the ingredients.

I raked up a bunch of rotted mulch in order to plant a butterfly garden, and this type has been fruiting out of a rotted stump for the past few days.

This type is in a mostly-shaded nook between two buttress roots of an old maple tree that has a trunk covered in mosses and lichens.

This one is growing from clay near or on a root juncture of a very large maple tree nearby, fruiting after about two weeks of minimal rain with daytime temperatures climbing to the high 80s (fahrenheit) in the last few days.

I would say it's in a humid microclimate as the ground here is in heavy to dappled shade most of the day and only a few paces from the stream channel. The cap feels spongy and the ground here is mossy.
