First looks like Mycena.

Second appears to be Psythrella

Yes, Mycena and Psathyrella.

Also, you should not store mushrooms in plastic bags.  Try tackle boxes for small mushrooms, paper or wax bags for larger mushrooms.

Yeah, plastic bags are no good, I like to gently wrap the species I find that produce dry fruit bodies in paper towels then place them in rigid plastic containers, any specimens that are viscid to glutinous I use wax paper as the specimens don't stick to it then place them in plastic containers.

Yeah, I have done the wet paper towels in a plastic box- that works well.  Also, I have known people to collect with aluminum foil; they just wrap the mushroom loosely in foil and twist the ends off.  I thought it was crazy at first, but it is rigid enough and seems to keep most mushrooms in good condition.

Interesting, I may try aluminium foil sometime with some of the more glutinous species, it sounds like a good idea, I like to be very gentle when collecting specimens in an attempt to preserve the taxonomic characteristics as much as possible.

Sorry for adding to this a month later.....

Yes I have seen mycologists who collect using tin foil and it seems to work very well.
Easy to carry a roll around and as said by Curecat is robust enough to keep specimens from being crushed.

Put it on a plate, son. You'll enjoy it more.
