I feel like #3 is a very young COW (Chicken of the Woods). I agree with the rest of your ID’s, though I would like to see more of some of them (especially #1)
Knowing what it is growing on is another good indicator.

interesting, i dont think so. i dont have a really firm id because i cant tell if it has pores or gills or what but i wouldnt be surprised if it was something like Tapinella atrotomentosa

mushrooms look different in different locations. like #1 might not be a true chanterelle if it has normal gills. So side pictures showing the ground, and pictures of the underside are really needed.

They do, but my first time finding COW I found ti coming up from a mostly buried log, there was just a strip of the wood visible. #2 - Turkey tail grows on wood as well. It also tends to be thin and have rings
Not all cow grow on wood. See this one i found a couple days ago. Tbey grow on roots underground but the fruiting body is just pn grass or leaf litter typically.
Laetiporus cincinnatus
Went back out today, snapped a few pictures.
Here’s the one that needed a picture of the bottom taken.
(would’ve gotten a bottom view of this one but phone died while I was out)
Any ID’s on any of the others would be appreciated, thanks!

Believe the turkey tail looking one is actually an old and decaying COW as if you zoom in you can see it’s porous (I believe turkey tail is not, correct me if I’m wrong)

Amanita sp.

Two toned bolete possibly. Exercise caution with this id there are poisonous look alikes

Chantarelle of some sort

Bolete species are difficult to get a specific I.D.
I use the bolete filter to get closer to the I.d

Yep growing on wood, popping up out of the grass. I grow them on mostly buried logs.
That one’s not chicken of the woods. There are quite a few polypores that are superficially similar but not as bright orange.

Every Chicken of the Woods that I’ve ever found has been like the one @snarfing posted the photo of… growing up from the roots of a dead or dying oak. Always in close proximity to, but not ON the tree trunk itself - but I’ve seen plenty of photos of CotW growing on trunks/stumps.

The Bolete filter is great. Really opened my eyes to how I’m only familiar with the small fraction of them that grow in my region.

Agree with all these. For the second to last one, I think you can see a volva between the thumb and forefinger in the background of the first photo, which would pretty much nail the genus as Amanita.

Interesting bolete I found on long island. Mixed oak and pine forest. Pores bruise blue but not the flesh when cut. Strong scent of beef bouillon. I have it identified but may be fun for some of you. If you want to guess
Also found our first chanyarelles of the season. Much really small but also found this big boy
