RE: Mushroom finds - Can you tell me what some of these are? No seriously I want to know :)

I'd say top photo and bottom photo, both amanitas. They've broken their veil and it is left on the cap. You can have amanitas where the dots/specs on the cap have washed off due to precipitation too! And not all amanitas are the classic red cap with white dots like the amanita muscaria (and probably others amanitas may fit that same description? @dber ?) but I believe in general, all amanitas should have remanence of specs from the veil, unless it has been washed off by rain or worn off from other contact or development.
