Hi,not all certain here, A hacklemesh weaver, possibly laceweb weaver.

These are not dangerous in any event.

Hi. The more I compare this, the more it seems to compare to Callobius severus.
I was able to bring the eyes out a bit and they also appear to match.
The Scotophaeus blackwalli (mouse spider) I can’t make fit to this.
I will say, your spider is awful dark, still some uncertainty.

You might compare to ones near the bottom of this page:

Except for one species native to Chile you’re pretty unlikely to come across a Mouse Spider (Missulena spp.) outside of Australia. (The common name is shared by another and far less imposing species, Scotophaeus blackwalli which isn’t a Mygalomorph).

Hi, welcome to Spider ID. πŸ™‚ This is a Mygalomorph, I can’t make it out very well but suspect a Folding-door Spider, compare to Antrodiaetus:

Thanks, that was my first suspicion and put it aside for what looks a lot of seta on the legs and what look to be Aranamorph eyes. I have to live with the fact what I have for a computer is not going to cut identifying spiders. People would long throw away a machine I am trying to use.
