ID request (first attempt at hunting)

I went out to a nearby spot (near Winchelsea, Victoria) that I thought was a good chance of having some subs.
I found quite a few different species but only a couple looked close to what I was looking for. It didn't bruise blue however so I'm not confident.
1.

 * Habitat: These were in a large grassy clearing with some acacia shrubs not far away. * Gills: Hopefully the photo gives you enough of an idea, I've got them in the fridge getting a spore print so if more detail is needed I can get another photo. * Stem Carefully: cream coloured, thin but quite solid as well. It didn't bruise blue when I rubbed it. * Spore print color: Work in progress * Color that the mushroom bruises when damaged: As mentioned above, it didn't show any signs of bruising.
2.

 * Habitat: These ones were in among a stand of eucalyptus, growing out of the leaf litter. * Gills: orange * Stem Carefully: cream coloured, quite thick but light and fragile * Color that the mushroom bruises when damaged: Didn't bruise
I've included some shots of the area I was looking, it was a mix of pine trees with clusters of some sort of gum tree and some wattles as well. A lot of the wattles were dead or dying, presumably from borer damage. There are lots of roos in the area and I saw a dead deer so they're around too. I also have some photos of the other mushrooms I saw, I didn't go to as much effort to try and identify them because they clearly weren't subs, but I'm wondering if someone recognises any as species that commonly occur in good areas for hunting - mainly so I get an idea of whether or not this is a place worth persisting with.
Unfortunately my phone has been dropped a few too many times and a lot of the photos of distant objects come out a bit blurry.

A stand of some sort of eucalyptus, these were all planted out and did not grow up naturally (if that makes any difference)


Pine trees along a roadside

I noticed a bit of juncus growing, which I normally associate with quite wet or poorly drained soil. Not sure if that is relevant but I thought I'd share it.

Some of the other mushrooms I saw:


There were lots of these ones in a fairly mossy area. I had my hopes up for a moment when I saw the colour of the caps but a quick look underneath seemed to rule them out as anything of interest to me.


I found these around a lot of the pine trees, along with lots of fly agarics

Thanks for that.
According to wikipedia Marasmius oreades are supposed to be pretty tasty so I might grab a bunch next time I see them.

Conocybe is possible but I think it's Psathyrella. Conocybe tend to have stems that are pruinose at the apex with longitudinal striations, and I am not seeing them here. I think these will print dark purple brown to black.
