Need Identification Help

Found these two new ones. Click images for fullsize.
Mushroom 1
Habitat: Soil with some dried grass
Gills: Pale yellow, attached to the stem
Stem: Orangey brown, 0.2cm wide, 2.5cm tall
Cap: Orangey brown, 2.5cm diameter
Spore print color: Brown but the print is ruined because the cap doesn't sit properly on the paper
Bruising: None
Location: Malaysia
Found them growing under a small lime plant. These are the mature ones.

Here's a young one.


Some spores rubbed onto my hands and they seem to be orangey brown.


Mushroom 2
Habitat: Pile of dried grass.
Gills: Dark gray almost black
Stem: Yellowish brown, pretty sturdy, 0.2cm wide, about 5cm tall.
Cap: Yellowish brown, cap is 1.5cm in diameter.
Spore print color: Black
Bruising: Black D:
Location: Malaysia (South of Thailand, north of Singapore)
They also smell pretty good.
Around afternoon when it was still quite moist


The random blotches on the cap confuses me, not that I have the slightest clue what mushroom it is anyway.

Evening when it was dry


This was a few minutes after I manhandled the stem to see for any bruising. After an hour or so the bruising turned darker and became pure black.

Spore print is black.

Here it is all dried up.

Hmm, mushroom 2 is very interesting... It certainly looks like it could be an active species. The random blotches you noticed on the cap are likely bruising caused by rain/hail.
Where are you located? Do you have a photo of the gills? Also leave them to spore print for a bit longer to get a more definitive print. These factors are pretty important with identifying these mushrooms.
DO NOT EAT until they have been identified by a Trusted Identifier.

You should definitely read the sample here and maybe add some more information.
All I can really tell is species 2 is an active Copelandia.

Agreed. Most likely Copelandia cyanescens Also known as Panaeolus cyanescens or the "Blue meanie"

I'm in Malaysia. Unfortunately I do not have pics of the gills and the mushroom has already shriveled up so I can't get a better spore print. I'll just wait for more to pop up.
Definitely, I don't want to die lol.

I'm still worried though, the bruising isn't blue but black and the weird coloration on the cap is a little off putting.

While bruising is recent it can appear green until it darkens to blue, then as it dries usually it looks black. The bruising is actually the psilocybin and / or psychoactive alkaloids oxidising within the mushroom, I believe its something like that. So your shroom does contain psilocybin for sure. If you take a look at the "what mushrooms grow in your area" page on here it might give you some species to compare yours to.
I'm very interested to see what the first species it though, it looks cool.

Ah yes, based on the list Panaeolus cyanescens definitely grows around here.

There is nothing to worry about, I am positive on the ID. There are no poisonous look alikes.

Looks like a Gymnopilus.
