I found two of these today. Beautiful but don't know what they are.
Then I see these and really have no clue!

First 2 are Pluteus, but I'm unsure of the species in your area. They are nice mushrooms!
Second ones I'd say are a Clitocybe sp.

I am not a TI but I second Karode for the first one. Most likely Pluteus based on the pink gills, get a spore print if the print is pink then it is most likely pluteus. Find what pluteus varieties match the picture / grow in your area. If you can math it & it grows off same thing in same area its known in it may be active! Happy hunting!

I've read different things on pluteus. Is there any poisonous or not? Some say yes and some say no.

Most mentions of inedibility in the Pluteus genus are usually in reference to the type 4 toxins (psilocin and psilocybin) that some Pluteus species have. I haven't found many mentions of toxic or inedible Pluteus strains beyond this, but there are some Pluteus experts here who can give more info. Pluteus can be confused with some toxic and poisonous wood-growing species in other genera, and I'm unsure as to what the necessary distinguishing factors would be. You definitely have pink, freely-attached gills here, so my gut is telling me it's some type of Pluteus.

The print was pink so I'm thinking it is to. So if one was to eat them, is it safe to say they would be fine?

I wouldn't eat anything until you can get an ID/opinion from a Trusted Identifier. Pluteus' closest lookalike relative is the Entoloma genus, which does contain some very toxic species. Entolomas also grow on wood, have pink gills, and pink spore prints. Some Entolomas cause gastric upset, some are known to contain those nasty amanitoxins, etc. You have to be 100% positive about ANY mushrooms found growing directly on wood. Personally, I wouldn't touch a Pluteus unless I could get a positive bluing reaction out of it.
EDIT: Lol I didn't see the TI post above, so it's a definite, confirmed Pluteus. You could probably get away with trying it. If you're familiar with the distinct taste of psilocin, you might try chewing a little bit and then spitting it out, to see if it has that acrid flavor.

I also found white ones growing on wood and had pink gills. Would they be the same thing? I didn't pick them though. They were as big as these are.
