ID Help: Blue-green mushrooms & Blewits?

I found both of these mushrooms in a park in Houston this afternoon. I think the second mushroom is a wood blewit, but some confirmation would be good.
Habitat: In duff beneath pine trees.
Gills: Pale, but bruising to a reddish color. Attached, I think.
Stem: Short. Thick. Slightly offset.
Cap: Dry, 3-5" across, rounded but with a kidney shape that reminds me of ash tree boletes.
Spore print color: I did not print it!
Bruising: This mushroom bruises RED.
Other information: Smelled mushroomy.




Habitat: In duff under some kind of hardwood that I am unable to identify. Mushrooms grow linearly in small clusters.
Gills: Pale violet, crowded, trippy.
Stem: Short, solid, somewhat swollen at the base with violet mycelium attached.
Cap: Violet, up to 6" across, convex, fading and flattening out with maturity.
Spore print color: I've got a little bit of a print so far, and it looks pale on foil.
Bruising: No bruising.
Other information: The scent is sweet and somewhat fruity, but not as strong as the Clitocybe tarda mushrooms I found in yards last spring.

The pictures of blewits in my Texas field guide look pretty much exactly like them. Sweet! I saved all of the stem butts for transfer to cardboard. Ironically, I just bought a blewit culture.
Thanks for the confirmation. I'll be sure to post here if my liver turns to mush!

I could have sent your Blewit spores for free.
Nice find! I've been finding a lot of Blewits this year.

This was my first season getting familiar with Blewits. They smell like grapes to me and I could never figure out their place in the kitchen. Love that smell though.
