It's best to discuss ID of one type mushroom per discussion. Otherwise, things may become confusing.

There's one mushroom here that looks to be a puffball, in particular a species of Lycoperdon. If you believe you have found a puffball, you should check by slicing it lengthwise. If it's s uniform consistency inside it's a true puffball --white and like cream cheese if immature; turning yellow/green/brown/gray/purple if it's approaching maturity; powdery if it's post mature. If the inside shows a silhouette/outline of a mushroom then it's a button of an agaric, possibly a toxic amanita mushroom.

The mushrooms with brown gills seen here look to be a type(s) of Agaricus. Some Agaricus species are edible, some are sickeners. 

The mushroom with the scaly cap and annulus on the stem is  a species of either Macrolepiota or Chlorophyllum. The cap looks like Macrolepiota to me, but the stalk is very smooth for these types. Some types of Chlorophyllum mushrooms have stalk with internal flesh that turns orangish or reddish when cut. These types have white spores. Some people are sensitive to the white spored Chlorophyllum mushrooms and become ill after consuming them. Some people enjoy the caps of the white-spored Chlorohyllum mushrooms (if well-cooked). There's a type of Chlorophyllum mushroom that has green spores and is toxic for most people. This is C. molybdites, the "Green Spored Parasol". The true parasol mushrooms --Macrolepiota species-- have white spores and the caps are edible. Sorry I can't confidently confirm whether the mushroom seen here is Macrolepiota or Chlorophyllum.
