hey new to the forums. i found these mushrooms in my neighborhood, and i am curious as to what they are, even if they are not psychoactive.
sorry for excessive pictures, i just am not the best at describing them
i'm in the bay area
Species #1



Habitat: Growing on a well watered lawn, in some wood chips. In what seems to be near full sunlight.
Gills: white brown, maybe a little beige. older ones growing near by had much darker gills. slightly attached to the stem up in the cap
Stem: white, a bit rubbery. no ring or volva along the stem splitting and breaking easily.
Cap: thin, different color in the center than along the outside. Mushrooms nearby, possibly of the same species had splits in the caps.
Spore print: dark brown
annnd species 2



Habitat, Growing in some loose, well watered top soil in a renovated park.
Gills, dark brown unattached to the stem
Stem, thick, split easily
Cap, large and gray
Spore print, dark brown

Hey. I'm by no means an expert or anything close, but I'll put in my 2 cents and then check back to see what you really found. This is more like a learning experience and I hope you dont mind 
#1 marasmius #2 agaricus
neither are active.
again, dont give this opinion any weight

It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. Also he got a race car. Is any of this getting through to you?

and it's very positive to face this forum like that!
at first sight #1 may look like Marasmius, but notice that these have a white spore print and a not easy breaking stem. The dark brown spores indicate Strophariaceae, probably Hypholoma due to the habitat and abundance.
#2 for Agaricus it's important to register the type of ring(descending/ascending), discolorations and smells.
