Infundibuliform? Nice word. It means funnel-shaped.
The first genus that struck me was Lepiota. Does that sound right to you? Free attachment, white gills, non-Amanita looking mushroom led me there.
And the Toad is Bufo americanus, the American Toad. It has a distinctive shrill call that can last up to 30 seconds. I love those little guys.

I'm still trying to pinpoint species 2. I'm using mushroomexpert.com's id key and it points me in the direction of an agrocybe or conocybe. I'm curious as to what makes you believe a galerina.
Thanks for the help

Infundibuliform is a nice word. To be honest yesterday was the first time I had ever come across it. I vow to use it more often

Its small and brown with rust colored spores but does not appear to be cone shaped like Conocybe. So its likely Galerina. Most people don't realize that most Galerinas are little brown things that look like a brown spored Mycena.
Its too small and fragile for Agrocybe.

That's how you learn the terms--one at a time and use them. Some people let long words scare them. Think about it. There are plenty of long words we all know.
