Hard to tell without a dimension scale.
Have you considered downloading Shroomify?

No but that's a good shout, I'll have a go 👍

Some spots from the weekend, any ideas what they are? Just curious, no plans on picking anything

Please don't take this as criticism but more an offer of advice! It's hard to ID from photos alone but here's some tips to gather the information needed to get closer to an ID next time!

Thanks for this, no worries at all, that's useful info, I got a photo of the gills on the last one but didn't post it. I'm a total noob and kind of assumed these may have been obvious and easily identified by some of the more knowledgeable people here, but I guess it's not always that straightforward. I thought the first one looked like something, the other two are a bit more generic looking. I'm just enjoying spotting new stuff when I'm out and about at the moment and trying to learn some bits along the way.

Oh, I'm definitely in the "new to this" camp as well. As a newbie I'd definitely need to see the gills/pore/spikes etc before I could start to wonder what they might be. There's still only a small number of funghi I am confident in my ID of.

This is a good "pocket" guide for more common things you might come across, I'd trust a book more than an app, the apps are generally not so great at correct IDs.

What are the 7 species? - familiar with 2 (liberties and blueleg brownies) - google came up with another 3 (Inocybe corydalina, Gymnopilus purpuratus, Psilocybe fimetaria)

Well the book is from 1977. Seven species listed.
There may well be many more discovered since then.
The book served me well at the time ;)
