Type 1 is Psilocybe cubensis.
Not sure on the second type, maybe Psilocybe coprophila, its not active.

It's a possibility the mushrooms you have on the left side are psilocybe cubensis. The photos and description you provided doesn't enable a very good identification so if you could kindly follow the rules of proper identification someone more knowledgeable might be able to confirm what you have.
But here is a good starting point of where you can find out yourself....

What color is the bruising on the type 2? It looks like blue/green stains on the stems, though it seems the color in that photo is a bit off.
Spore print color isn't the color of the gills, its the color of the spores themselves. You'll have to take an actual spore print to see the spore color.
I've had purple gilled mushrooms drop white spores. Mr. Mushrooms recently posted a red gilled mushroom that dropped black spores.
Type 1 does seem to be cubensis.
Need better photos and info for type 2 to be identified.
