Help. I need mycological expertise to help me identify a load of mushrooms that I picked today. Here's the link.

I think there are three different kinds in total, possibly four. The tape measure is extended to 20cm, as a reference. Please ask me if you need more photos, or close-ups of gills, etc.
Pic 1 - taken from a large fallen branch (they were growing one above the other, like shelves - you know, like oyster mushrooms or chicken in the woods).
Pics 2, 3, 4 - collected in two different clearings in the woods.
Pics 5, 6 - collected in three different places in the woods, all growing on dead wood/bark under or around trees.
Pics 7, 8, 9 - taken from one small fallen bough, all growing together. These are much smaller mushrooms than the previous ones. The cluster on the right has a similar size and shape to magic mushrooms. I believe.
All were picked today in woods around Chipping Barnet, Hertfordshire. The habitat is light woodland, with a preponderance of holly, beech, hornbeam and other deciduous trees.
Thank you!
Michael.
