ID Request, gilled mushroom, yosemite valley

Hey, found these yesterday in yosemite valley, they are growing terrestrially at the base of dead trees, probably conifers. My amateur guess is Armarilla Mellea but I fond no references to people finding these in yosemite.
Gills: off white when young, brown when old. Attached and running slightly down the cap
Stem: 1/2 inch diam, fibrous, up to 6 inches long
Cap: convex, beige to brown center when young, possibly just a little slimy when young. Brown to black center when old.
Spore print color: White as far as I can tell. All the specimens I found where not dropping spores (even the young ones which I guess must have froze dead), even the young ones, but I saw some white powder on the caps of some of the lower mushrooms.
Bruising: none, afaik.



Bonus mushroom: found this singular mushroom growing out of the ground, and the only other terrestial mushroom that I found other than the one above in Yosemite (I mostly found wood decomposers growing out of stumps). Did not get a spore print.

-------------------- have: blue, brown, pink, yellow, elm, king oyster, reishi, nameko, black poplar, shaggy mane, PESA want: ABM, ganoderma spp., straw mushroom, exotic pleurotus species, ethno cuttings/seeds.

Your first ones are Armillaria sp I believe.

your first one does look like Armillaria mellea to me.
Not too sure about the second.

They are Armillaria, but not A. mellea. Could be A. gallica.
The second one is a Clitocybe.
