Anyone living on the 45th parallel know if these are gymnopilus luteus?

Here's some others,, I think are some form of gym,, they have really redish coloured gills and they smell strong like radishesIMG_20150904_114003.jpgIMG_20150904_114019.jpg they have a cobweb veil if that helps,, ive searched and searched and I can't I.d. these
 
This ones off topic but this guys got me scratching my head,,, bruised bluish purple,, you can see the same color under the gills, it has a slimey cap ,, cap size is 2 and ahalf inches acrossed IMG_20150904_131007.jpgIMG_20150904_131007.jpg
 
Hey people please help,, ive been through the thousands of old post and nothing in there has answered my questions,,, I need to know if I'm on the right track,, big laughing gyms have a visible ring from the vail right? Or is it barely there, like do the have a cobweb type vail? Ive stumbled acrossed a lot of big gym look alikes but they did not bruise,, had all of the other characteristics but no bruising,, but I'm almost positive these are the gymnopilus luteus,,just hoping an old shroomer can help me out,,, And for the record, these inquiries are hobby perposes only,,I'm just trying to correctly identify the species of shrooms around me,,.. Ive never realy been in to shrooming but as I get older and the fear of government and financial collapse Im trying to familiarize my self with every possible food source and medicinal plant and fungi out here,,,
 
Here's another odd ball,, some kind of amanita maybe?IMG_20150904_114028.jpgblue grey body with purplish grey gills,,, they bruise rusty brown,,,,

These look like Red Gilled Corts.....Cortinarius semisanguenus..Would be my guess...

To answer your question about the ring(anulus) Yes you should be able to see it... On older specimens it maybe faded but you should be able to see remains. Do you have any foraging books? Obviously, your gung-ho :) and I think they would be an awesome start to getting you where you wanna be...
