Nice, detailed photos and descriptions, and interesting specimens.
I have doubts about the spore print colors you've reported. You need to do a spore print overnight on white paper to accurately determine the color for identification purposes. Using the gill colors will often give inaccurate color guesses for spore prints.
The first one looks like an Inocybe to me. Another possibility is Entoloma. A good spore print should settle things immediately. Inocybes have dirt brown spore prints and Entolomas have pink ones.
The second one immediately suggests Xerula, but I'm leaning more towards Entoloma on those. Again, a spore print will settle it. Xerulas have white spore prints and Entolomas have pink ones.
Happy mushrooming!

The spore print (overnight on white paper towel) is clearly defined yellow for species #1. The spore print is very vivid orange for species #2.

Whaaaaat??? That is odd.... I was making the same assumptions as ToxicMan, expecting a white or pink print. But yellow and orange you say? Hmmm.... any photos?
