Gymnopilus ID confirmation

Species 1 on hardwood:

Species 2 on conifer:

Both species smell phenolic or almond like and taste extremely bitter. I noticed some very small spots of blue-green in the field that I can't seem to find anymore.

Second are all gyms man.
First ones ( one showing gills is tough to say.) - the other on right looks like a old gym but also hard to say.
Second batch looks like g luteus. But the conifer is odd part of the find.

For what it's worth, I think they are probably Gym's I think they look similar to Gymnopilus penetrans or something like that, unless they show bluing or green'ing whatever its called.

Thanks for the help guys 
This mushroom from the second cluster is definitely showing some blue/green bruising after some fridge time:

I might be wrong about the conifer-It looked like it, but I'm terrible with ID'ing decaying wood and now that I think about it, there were probably more hardwoods than conifers in that area. Sorry about the shitty cell phone pics. I had some cool habitat shots, but I managed to lose my camera when my dog took off in the middle of this sweet chunk of old growth forest with no trails. I'm going back tomorrow to see if I can find it, but we finally got a good downpour...
C'est la vie

Yeah that's probably an active gym, you might want to save a small piece of it for microscopy, sorta looks like Gymnopilus aeruginosus maybe. Cool find either way. Enjoy them

Thanks guys I'll be sure to save some. Hopefully bloodworm comes out of his hole soon, cause I'm missing our resident jilm expert.

Are you sure about the conifer? Looks a hell of a lot like G. luteus. Are the lamellae really that red/ purple?

No, on second thought it was probably on hardwood, but I get confused looking at decaying wood. I don't think there were many conifers in the area. The first round of pictures is with natural light and shows the colors much more accurately than the one showing the blue/green bruising. That pic was taken under fluorescent light with a cell phone camera. The lamellae and gills are more yellow-orange than red but the bruising color is pretty accurate. I just couldn't dial in the white balance

You can see the color temp i up high to highlight the bruising... you can see it in the towels if im not mistaken. Could be wrong though. Either way it shows what it needs to and i think its sexy!
