Hey everyone, i'm new to these forums and I have a question about two different mushrooms I found in my backyard today. I have included the pictures in my post, and would like some help identifying the mushrooms. I am assuming they're poisonous since most shrooms that grow in southern ontario are, but i'd like to know what kind they are. Thank's in advance to any and all who reply with their information =) The first one seems to be mostly white, with a white stem, white feathers and a (mostly) white top. The second is mostly brown and has a flat top, but i have seen others in the area with normal (cone shaped) tops as well.

Ok lets focus on the larger one then
a. Toronto, Ontario, Canada (both currently growing in the grass of my lawn)
b. Gills are white, not pores
c. cap is approx. 3 cm in diameter stem is 6.5 cm long
d. stem is a pearly white colour (very shiny) does seem to be hollow and is thin
e. The cap is mostly a brown-whitish colour (hard to describe) cap is flat
f. Spore print colour (has none, only print colour i got was my white paper turned see-through)
g. mushroom shows no sign of colour change after bruises
h. mushroom smells like a normal mushroom that you would find on a frozen pizza (not sure what type it is lol, but smells like common cooking mushroom)

Hey Hemp, for future reference, you should start your own post instead of using someone elses.
To get a positive ID on the mushroom you described, you need more information. Please read the Forum Rules here: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=2263556 Go down to the section II and read what is needed for 'Accurate mushroom descriptions'.
pics would help if you can get some...
