I found these mushrooms the other night near college station, texas. The big one was growing in cow dung. The small ones were going in new sod. The large one didn't look it had developed spores yet and the small mushrooms left a faint brown spore print.

First ones look like conocybes.
On that second one I want to say Lepiota or one of the sub-genera (such as C. molybdites), but you mentioned it was growing directly from manure, which leaves me sort of unsure. It would be helpful to observe the gills in more detail and what they look like as they age. Also a spore print would be nice.

I would add the genus of Agaricus as a possibility on the second photo. Of course as eris mentioned, Clorophyllum molybdites is a likely suspect. Please make a spore print, inquiring minds would like to know. Whatever it is I have to say the photo is really appealing. georgem and don't eat it!

Your first pic on top is the poisonous Conocybe lactea dont want to eat anything that ever looks like that.....
Your bottom pic is Lepiota/ Macrolepiota/ Chlorophyllum rachodes.....take your pick.....all the same mushroom......more often than not Lepiota rachodes..... your going to see this mushroom listed as edible but this group is extremely dangerous as there are many other Lepiotas in the group that also stain (bruise) some shade of reddish that are among the most fatal of all mushrooms almost impossible to tell apart visually.....the brown bruising on the stem in your pic is secondary bruising as the original reddish orange bruising has turned to brown in age Chlorophyllum molybdites also bruises brown on the stem but thats the oringinal color of the bruise for that species and it will have green spore print.....it can be highly toxic to MANY people though many eat it (when cooked).....but this can land you in the hospital as it account for most hospital related mushroom poisonings in the U. S. as it is a giant.....white.....beautiful mushroom that grows in peoples giant beautiful lawns in the summer with much less noticable mushrooms.....so has a high frequency of encounters with humanoids.....some thing that big beautiful and cant POSSIBLY hurt you !......?????

I took a spore print on black paper and it was faint but it definitely looked white. I will try and post another pick when i can get my hands on a camera again. Thanks for the id help.
