Help with identification please ?

All are growing in the grass close to a conifer hedge which is slowly dying. Located in Hampshire
There was an oak tree on the site of the fungus but is now long gone. The single fungus is about 18cm in diameter and close to the ground on a short stem so I can't photograph underneath it. Its the only one growing so I don't want to pick it.
The other specimen is growing in a small clump and is a delicate mushroom with a cap about 3 cm in diamater with a thin stem.

Ummm..not as far as I am aware, I didn't successfully manage to post as I got an error message. Forgive me, I thought this would be a helpful forum for me to identify what is growing in my garden.
Clearly I was mistaken

But there was no need to be an arsehole about it was there ??

If someone tells me to 'go away' then of course that is meant as an offence.....what else could it be?
If he had said, hey, your post was answered, have a look here it seems you missed it.....thenthat's perfectly reasonable. I am very grateful for the input in helping me identify my finds but don't tell me to 'go away' and expect me not to respond reciprocally. I am happy to be told where I am going wrong, that's how we learn, but language is everything.
Thanks again for the attempts at identifying my finds, still none the wiser on No 1 though :-)

Hi there
Thanks for responding, no I can't get underneath it unfortunately, its only growing about an inch off the ground and its impossible to photograph from the underside. Don't want to pick it as its the only specimen.
I will keep an eye it in case it changes colour or shape but I'd rather preserve it than remove it :-)

A number of genera can chuck up an orange cap. Those lines might be tell-tale, but it's not a lot to work with. It has to be said the mushroom cannot be preserved indefinitely so maybe if you do decide to get under there please let us know what you see!

Hi Joie
Thanks again, Yes I guess its a bit of a shot in the dark so I might just go and have a prod around and see if I can manhandle it a bit and get a shot of the underside. I read on another forum that it isn't mushroom etiquette to disturb single specimens in case they are rare or endangered and they haven't had a chance to drop spores to replicate so I am just being mindful of what's the best way of dealing with it.
I take your point though, it might die at the end of the season and never come back anyway...
Cheers
