 trying to ID 2 fruits

found these two fruits walking home from work today. these are located in alberta, canada, about 1 hour east of the rocky mountains. it's been raining a lot for the past couple of weeks, so I've been keeping my eyes open.
the one on the left was growing along with a bunch of other fruits. about 3 large clusters on some dead tree roots. I think it may be a coprinus spp. any thoughts?
The one on the right was a single fruit growing under a spruce tree. The cap was just emerging from the ground. It is thick and meaty, white with grey gills. veiled. This looks a lot like a button mushroom that you would buy in the storLooking in peterson's, however, Armillaria zelleri, although peterson's says it should have off-white gills.
I'm doing spore prints from both as i type this, so hopefully that can help also.

1 is Coprinellus micaceus
2 may be an Agaricus species - what is the spore print color?

the coprunis has black spore print, and the one on the left looks white. i didn't look too close, and it's only been a couple of hours, so it may have been condensation, i'm not sure.
i'll check in a couple more hours.

OK, it's got a reddish-brown sporeprint.

The one on the right is not Armillaria zelleri. The base of the stem is wrong, and the color is not brown enough. Also, it should have a fairly strong unpleasant odor and a scaly stem.
It looks like an Agaricus, as Alan said.
Happy mushrooming!
