Another ID Request-NE PA Gym and a Pluteus?

I was out fishing today and came across two more mushroom species that I need some help IDing. I have made many ID requests in the past and I understand the mushrooms aren't in the best condition, but I'm confident someone will be able to help me out as many of you really know your mushrooms. Any feedback is appreciated! 
Species 1: I'm guessing this is some kind of Pluteus?
Habitat: Found growing from a rotten log underneath some pine trees. Pines are along a river.
Gills: Faint pinkish color, almost white.
Stem: Smooth 2 & 1/4 inches in length 1/4 inch in diameter White-has a pearl like surface.
Cap: 2 inches in diameter Smooth Light brown colored Has lines radiating from the center
Spore print color: Not having any luck with a print, gills pretty damaged from being shoved in my fishing vest.
Bruising: None
Other information:


Species 2: I'm fairly confident its a Gym. Its not quite a pin but not fully developed. I accidentally uprooted it hopping off of my quad, otherwise I wouldn't have picked it :/ I'm sorry the quality of the mushroom is horrible it turned bright yellow to the color seen now in around half an hour so I broke it apart to see if the inside was still yellow. It sure wasn't ha ha.
Habitat: Found growing in debris at the edge of a stand of pines. About 50 feet from the river and received a fair amount of sunlight.
Gills: Spongy Yellow
Stem: 1 inch in diameter at center-slightly tapered at either end. Was originally bright yellow/orange. It turned a light turquoise green instantly and had green bruising all over it. After about 30 minutes out of the ground it turned a deep turquoise color as seen in the image. Traces of the bright yellow color can be seen in the fragments of the stem.
Cap: 3/4 inch in diameter. Was originally bright yellow/orange just like the stem. Cap has some sort of rough texture to it - cant describe it exactly - but its not smooth.
Spore print color: No luck here either. I believe the mushroom was too young still.
Bruising: Intense turquoise green bruising. Started off very light green and eventually became such dark turquoise green it is now black. Since blue and yellow makes green-I'm assuming the bruising in this species is this way because of that? Unlike the obvious blue bruising in other mushroom species.

First one is a Pluteus, maybe P. cervinus.
Second one is a bolete of some kind.

Thanks. I was thinking P. cervinus aswell because of the similarities to P. salicinus and the lack of bruising.
Second was a surprise though, thanks for clarifying. I saw the bright yellow and bruising and instantly thought Gym. Guess Psilocybin mushrooms aren't the only ones that bruise blue?

Nope, many boletes and some Lactarius sp. bruise a similar color.
