Yes to 2) Lepiota. However, I'm pretty certain 1) is not Agaricus. I'm leaning more to Clitocybe or Cortinarius.
For what it's worth, 2) could be toxic. None are active.

Agreed, pics are not very good.
need good clear pics to get a sense of colour and texture of the mushrooms.
I agree that 2 is a Lepiota sp., but i think 1 may well be Agaricus sp. those gills look pink and close to me. Sorry Tas75 I wouldnt have said either Cortinarius sp. or Clitocybe sp.

No way is 1 Agaricus or Cortinarius, could be Clitocybe or maybe something else in Tricholomataceae?

Not a gym, it is a ganoderma lucidum or curtisii. It is a good medicinal mushroom, I like to brew it with green tea which helps with the bitter taste.

You don't need to be brave to try it in a tea, but you they are hard to chop and is generally pretty bitter. Here is more info about ganoderma lucidum

If you dry them by just breaking it into pieces and leaving in warm dry place. They will last a long time when dried. Thanks for sharing your finds!
