I think that the first one may be a fly agaric. but im not sure.
Im unsure of the second.

Habitat- found growing in what appeared to be a field for either horses or cattle. grew near trees in the grass.
Stem- about an inch in diameter, some are half an inch. the shorter ones have fatter stems, the longer with skinnier. theres a white fluffy ring around the stem about halfway down.
gills- white.
Cap- red with white dots covering it. 2-3 inches in diameter. convex or flat.
Bruise color- Im guessing a deeper red.
Spore print- White.
sorry about the pic being a little blurry.

Habitat- found growing in the same field near dung, but not in dung.
Stem- looks wood, copper or rust colored. about 2 inches long. maybe a centimeter in diameter.
Gills-peach rose color, i think attached and unattached.
Cap-Tan, has a dimple at the tip. about an inch and a half in diameter.
bruise- I think a darker brown.
Spore print- almost transparent, white.
thats all of it. Any help is much appreciated.

those are amanitas in the top photo, but impossible to say if they are a. muscaria for sure without a good shot of the base of the stipe.

as uarewotueat poin out , the base of the stem is the most importan feuture to get corect id in amanita muscaria the volva should have concentric ring in the base of the stem and a boulbous base call volva.......
the second specie look like marasmius ,nice spore print in both and nice id request.....

The first is probably A. muscaria, though the details at the base of the stem are still a little hard to see.
The second species is Laccaria amethystina.

i don´t think those are amethystina. does not have the purple gill that never fade as the cap, maybe is a laccaria , could be but no amethystina, since they are pin have the purple blue gill and stay like that even when they beging to produce spores..

> i don´t think those are amethystina.
You are absolutely correct again.
Thanks for noticing, I really appreciate having someone double check my work.
> does not have the purple gill that never fade as the cap, maybe is a laccaria
It is a Laccaria for sure, the purple color and fibrous look of the stem + wide gills makes me certain of that.
> could be but no amethystina, since they are pin have the purple blue gill and stay like that even when they beging to produce spores..
Another reason it can't be amethystina is that this specimen was found in the PNW, but amethystina only grows in the eastern US. Its really interesting how so many species that grow in the eastern US but not the west are also found in Mexico. You probably find this species all the time and knew right away that it wasn't amethystina.
It is this one:

The gills in L. amethysteo-occidentalis fade to lilac in age.

ALAN SAID:sorry cap on don´t worry cc..

me too ,not too many people notice my work 
It is a Laccaria for sure, the purple color and fibrous look of the stem + wide gills makes me certain of that.
i´m not convince of that be that either, maybe we should check other genus like clitocybe or perhaps the all mighty collybia ...
i guess we are needing more pictures from the top of the cap and ask the good friend here if the gills are really purple i doubt it, and he said are pinkish , still not convince i´m even trying other genus , recheck , re check,

look i don´t want to ruin your reputation, but as mj will said i don´t like people to spread misinformation on this site..so what i will give is the doubt to be a laccaria some lacata have some purple-pinkish ting in the gills but i see this ones more clear.. but give you the doubt. is not that laccaria either if you don´t find a new one will start thinking is another genus, marasmius was a good bet in the first place also ... .i can only doble check and not supost to give advise that will be cheating ..rules mean to be broken ..

I don't see why you don't think this is Laccaria amethysteo-occidentalis. Seems like a good match to me.
Doesn't look like any Collybia or Marasmius that I have seen.

I think this might be a better picture of the base of the stipe for clarification.
