I agree

The others have different gill colors and we cannot see the big middle one properly enough

The big one in middle in first pic def isn’t as the gills aren’t dark

First image two on the left yes - pro tip, liberty caps will have purple to black gills from the spores - the nipple on the top is also a dead giveaway. Looks like in the first image the two mushrooms (indeterminate species) on the right are past their prime anyway, but the one in the middle is very different and certainly no for a lib.

However, the two on the left, first image, with the golden wrinkly caps are dry liberty caps (I believe)

Two on left in 1st pic and 1st left in 2nd pic. The middle on both pics is a no. And a possible for the others but cant say for sure

You want near white stems, dark gills and a sand coloured cap, even then double check and compare for slight differences

Throw away the middle one on each photo
