Two Mushrooms To Identify

I'm new to this forum so, hello everyone!
As my subject suggests, I have 2 mushrooms that I would like help in identifying. One I believe I have successfully identified... the other I have not.
The first are these guys:

I was fairly certain that they were psilocybe semilanceata... but upon further study I think they could be psilocybe cylvatica... which are known to grow on decaying wood substrate. Found in Nova Scotia South Shore growing under pine needles. White spore print.
The second was growing in the same location... and it looks VERY similar except that it has a very distinct yellowish stem (did not take a spore print):

Anybody have any thoughts? I did not do a spore print and they are not with me at the moment to further describe. Appreciate the help.

they aren't psilocybes if the spore print was white. Psilocybes have a purple-brown spore print.

reminds me of the first time I found "libs"... they were conocybes
Look up the specific characteristics of the specific mushrooms you're looking for, then go looking for their habitat to find them. You'll have much more success that way.
