unidentified mushrooms

can anyone help me identify the mushrooms ive been photographing. most were found near beech trees. and hawthorn trees

Looks a little like a yellow stainer http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/gallery/ ... d~5503.asp
but hard to tell without a cross-section or a view of the gills.

could be agrocybe cylindracea, could be a horse mushroom, agricus macrosporus, field mushroom, make sure it is not a destroying angel. as that will kill you.

Try taking a photo of the mushroom from all angles as that will help identify it too.
