I'm no expert, but I don't think any of your shrooms are active. The one you found on shit appear to be Panaeolus antillarum. The one from wood could be a Pluteus species. Did any of these stain or bruise blue?

Interesting...can you post a closeup of some bluing? Taking sporeprints would definitely help I.ding. I'll bet the first ones are black and the second is pink.

unfortunatly my camera battery died. but i think if you look closely(full size) , at the picture in front of my keyboard you can see what im talking about aswell as the two differetn types i think, one being the smaller browner ones(brown caps and gills) and the whiter ones with grey gills. . also i just notice that the second one, seems to have gotten alot darker since i first took the photo.

I think this mushroom starts out tanish and fades to white as it ages. Similarly, the gills start out light, and turn grey/black as the spores mature. Some have a ring and some don't...maybe P. semiovatus, either way, I don't see any bluing. Most mushrooms change color when drying (some darker, some lighter) what you should be looking for is a distinct blue/blue-green color. Cool mushies! I would keep looking in the same/similar spots that you found these. Are you in the southeast?

Those first ones are Stropharia semiglobata. Unable to ID the second one properly. I haven't seen one like those before.

Bob called the second one. It is Pluteus atromarginatus. The dark edges of the free gills are the identifying characteristic. The color is a bit off in the photo though. I assume it is a white balance problem.
