ID Request from imaginary79 - Part 2

I found these growing out in a wooded area (I live in the Midwestern U.S.)
I don't know, but these kind of scream "POISONOUS" to me. 

Now, I'm not 100% sure if this is the same species, but it seems like it to me. This was growing out of a rotting log.

As for a spore print, I made one, but you can't really see anything. Is this normal? I let it sit for over 24 hours, but I can only see a light trace of where the gills were. I don't think it would even show up if I took a picture of it.
Thanks in advance.

Species one kind of looks a little like a Clitocybe, but it is probably something else. What was the substrate?
Species two kind of looks a little like a Volvariella, but it is probably something else like Pluteus.
Since these seem to have light colored spores, please go get some fresh specimens and make spore prints on tinfoil.

The top one was growing out of the dirt around a bunch of weeds. The second was growing out of a tree log that had fallen to the ground.
To me, both pics seem like they could be the same species. The color is the only really noticeable difference to me, but I'm a newbie at this stuff.
The underside (gills) look identical, in my opinion.

They are a bit different, the first is one of the white spored species, the second is a Pluteus or possibly Volvariella.
You will notice that the gill attachment is different - The one that grows on wood will have free gill attachment and the first will have more attached gills.

Thanks for the info.
Well, I'll have to venture back into the woods soon and get some new samples. It's been pretty wet here the past few days, so who knows what I might find.
So it seems that the ones growing out of the wood have a lot more "potential", right?
