Need some help identifying a few mushrooms.

I've had shrooms a few times but don't know anything technical about them especially when it comes to identifying them, so any help is appreciated.
Yesterday I was working on the farm bagging some horse manure when I found these mushrooms growing straight out of the manure and they were on the surface. To me it looks like there are two types, the ones with the open caps, can be seen on the pictures below.

Then there were a lot of them with unopened caps and these were below the surface so I had to slightly remove the top soil that was there, didn't want to leave them so I picked them even tho I'm sure they aren't fully grown but maybe they can be used for something.

I'm a complete noob with shrooms and have no idea how to test them even though I remember my friend telling me something about aluminium foil but that was so long ago I can't remember anything about it. If these are the "good" mushrooms but aren't fully developed can I blend them or something put them back in some sort of mixture and grow even more of them? of can I just dry these and eat them? Any advice would be great, thanks.

Not sure what you have there, but it's nothing "good".
Here is how to make a spore print.

That first one looks like an abused Conocybe.

No mushroom is garbage in my opinion. Just go toss them outside and let them decompose in peace.
They're not psychoactive if that's what you mean.

I guess they are more of a cream brown than an orange brown. Thanks for the clarification!

I see what you're saying after comparing the two. I'll bear it in mind next time I ID either one.
