#1) I think these are "honey mushrooms". the stems are hollow and woody. They were growing on a pine tree stump. They were not growing in a tight cluster like I'm used to seeing with honeys and the caps aren't textured like im used to.    
#2) I think they are gyms.

1 is a Hypholoma. Maybe H. fasciculare.
2 is really cool. Looks like an inactive Gymnopilus. Can you dry it? Would you consider mailing it to me?

Good ID on Hypholoma fasciculare. I googled and they match description exactly. Thanks.

The really similar species is G. aerolatus. But, G. hybridus is described with a similar shaped and decorated pileus, very good! Unfortunately, it's a European taxa that has never been confirmed stateside.

I'm not doubting your expertise at all so please don't be offended, I am just curious what bloodworm thinks. Is he still around?

the only doubtless expertise I have is in making the ladies scream... Usually at me. I'm also curious what bloodworm thinks about your collection.

i think G. decurrens is a good bet. obviously, the decurrent, broad gills...along with the whitish stipe base, lack of a veil, pileus coloration and pine needles clinging to the stipe base are a good indication of this species.
the caulocystidia should resemble the cheilocystidia...

Could be, the super thin margin context fits that too. But this obs has a depressed pileus as opposed to being convex and it doesn't look fibrillose to me. Op should post the other pics he showed me. This was really gregarious, there were at least twenty mushrooms in the patch.

actually, i do see some hardwood debris and the photos to right do show remnants of a veil on the stipe...
i change my vote. gravi is porbably right... although, that species was found on a "log," (whatever that means) in Jamaica. it should be rather easy to id microscopically given the spore size of that species...

You can't see in the photos but they seem to be growing on very rotten, buried logs.
