New shroomer in need of some IDs!

hello, I'm a fairly new shroomer from just outside of Boston. I'm aware that there aren't many actives in my area, but I hunt for pretty much any mushroom, I'm fascinated! I'm lucky enough to have found some beautiful fruits lately, and I'd like to show the world what I've got! I've found what I believe to be a couple Amanita of some sorts (maybe ceciliae and muscaria?). If I'm totally off its cool, because I've entered this hobby in order to learn, and making mistakes is just a step of learning! 
Species #1: muscaria? http:// http:// http://
Habitat: Mossy tree stump, grassy, mossy soil surrounded by trees, growing out of a gravel trail
Gills: White-cream colored, free
Stem: 3-4.5 inches, thick, white, hollow in the middle, ring present
Cap: "grape-shaped" when young, then turned close to flat or convex. yellow-orange colored, some had many warts, some had close to none (they were falling off when touched)
Spore print color: well, I made the mistake of doing the spore print on a white paper (I assumed it was an Amanita, I should have known to try it on a darker paper). I can assume that the spore print was white seeing as it wasn't very visible on the paper, if at all
Bruising: none noted
Other information: on the smaller fruits I noticed what looked to be a veil noted a slight minty smell
Species #2: ceciliae? http:// http:// http:// http://
Habitat: mossy soil, under a large tree (didn't get to ID tree )
Gills: white, free, noted brown/red spots on gills of some
Stem: 4-7 inches, ring present, white, has volva
Cap: ranges from conical to flat, pale brown color, covered in warts
Spore print color: made the same mistake as above, but I came to the same conclusion; white spore print
Bruising: possibly on gills, brown-red (?)
thank you so much if you can help me out!

I don't know about the little one, but the other pics under #1 look like Amanita flavorubens.

now that I think of it, the inside of the stems were red or brown like that. I'm not sure if it was because of it breaking it not, but it very well may be
