Psathyrella?

Got a couple more unidentified things...Again, these are from previous seasons and ended up in my Unidentified photo file. I'm afraid I don't have much info other than what the photo's show. I also realize that if Psathyrella, species ID may not be possible from the photo's, but just thought I'd throw them up and see what you all think. Thanks in advance!
1. Psathyrella longipes? Quercus agrifolia woodland in California.




2. Psathyrella ulignicola? Eucalyptus globulus woodland in California



Good night!!

I think your ID's are correct.

I don't think 1 is P. longipes, it looks closer to P. larga or maybe the same as your second one, but that is a shot in the dark and I could very likely be wrong. 2 could be what people in the west are calling P. ulignicola (Possibly there are more then one here getting that name applied), whether that is the same as what was described as P. uliginicola though...

Like the rhyme. Like the possibility of a close Psathyrella ID even better! I've intentionally stayed away from Psathyrella's because of their difficulty, but I'll try to get some good photo's and notes of regional stuff and post for fun. In light of Byrain's suggestions, and lack of more info on the photographed specimens, would it be accurate for record keeping sake to say Psathyrella cf. ulignicola?

When you photograph Psathyrellas make sure you keep some dried material because microscopy is often required to get to species.

Ya microscopy looks like fun, and no doubt requires time, but I love that stuff. I barely have time to hunt and photograph anymore. I do need a good microscope, however, for my jobby job, maybe I can get my company to buy one for me. I need to figure a way to get paid to do fungal microscopy. I get paid to do plant taxonomy and specimen curation at times. Time to brainstorm. Found this in Santa Barbara California on woodchips:
Psathyrella gracilis?

The true P. gracilis should have pinkish staining on the cap and gills in old age, not that its the only one that does. Generally though, you don't get anywhere when trying to id those even with microscopy... It could be loosely in that group though.
