Hi Nadine First photo is certainly a Coprinus, very probably a Shaggy Ink Cap. Cant make other two out, its almost impossible to identify fungi from pics, one needs at least some idea of size and the what they are growing on.
The Coprinus are ink caps and as they age the cap deteriorates into a black inky mass, they are edible when young, but I find they need a lot of garlic etc to make them really tasty.
Yours PeterK

The second looks like an Amanita, could it be the Blusher?

Yes it is. The third might be a Tawny Funnel Cap. The first is a shaggy ink cap.

As Nadine is posting from Portugal and as common names for fungi are often recent inventions and by no means agreed on or understood even within the UK, I'll add a bit of Latin here.
I have to admit, though, that number 3 has been subject to so much disagreement over its correct Latin name that maybe Leif's calling it the 'Tawny Funnel Cap' is the best solution!

As usual, Leif has given authoritative identification/confirmation and I agree with him on all three. So:

1) Coprinus comatus
2) Amanita rubescens
3) Lepista flaccida (aka L. inversa, or included in Clitocybe in many books).
