 ID request Victoria Australia

Habitat:Under a large blackwood? tree in my backyard, a lot of twigs leaves etc.. on ground, with grass, very wet. I am surrounded by farmland but very near forest areas. I am close to the Otways, west of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I have no idea of the altitude.
They seem to be growing directly out of the soil.
Gills: whitish, attached?
Stem:ranging from 2cm to 5cm length, very skinny, skinnier than a pencil, whitish in colour
Cap:yellowish brown to darker brown in the centre, smooth texture, shaped similar to an umbrella
Spore print color: coming soon
Bruising:
I cut them with scissors at the base, looks like bruising of an orange/brown colour
Other information: They smell like mushrooms to me, nothing disgusting.
How I found them growing
The darker larger ones growing in a bunch are growing nearby under the same tree, not sure if they are related ??
Hope this is helpful

1) Hmm that is interesting, does it have white spores? Free gill attachment? Could it be Marasmius oreades?
2) Gymnopilus junonius

Hi,
Sorry the answer took so long, it does have white spores.
Free gill attachment?..sorry, I don't know what that means, I have looked through the glossary, but 
Do I need to make a spore print for the mushrooms from the second set of pics?
And thank you for your speedy answers
cheers

Marasmius oreades seems likely. Take some more pics of them in their natural habitat from different angles if you find them again.

No, its definitely Gymnopilus.

Ok finally some pics of the first ones growing
The general area where they were found, very hard to spot, very tiny and almost invisible amongst the leaves.
I've been out hunting all morning, and have found many many mushrooms, so many, my cam ran out of battery, is it ok to post pics and info in this thread for ID on the others?
cheers and thanks
