Hello everyone ! I am new to the forum, and new to the mushroom hunt ! Today it was my first one, and I found 2 species I'm not sure at all what they were. Can you help me identify them? I found this species in a big sheep pasture. They were growing just next to a small river, around 300m above sea level. They grew directly on the soil, around some wood debris, just next to patches of nettles. There were sheep dung nearby, but they didn't grow directly on it. As you can see, it has a cream to light brown cap, sometimes brown with a white patch in the center. The cap is sometimes bell-shaped sometimes a little bit wavy. Its brown gills are attached to its thin stem. Its overall size is quite small. I didn't have the chance to make a spore print. It smelled like a regular mushroom, a soft earthy scent, and it was really delicate and fragile. Can you help me identify it? I'm not only interested to know if it is toxic or edible, but I would really like to know the specific species Thank you in advance !

Found these about 2 yards from a western KY river, growing on very old driftwood and I couldn't identify the type of tree. Cap is convex and orangish pink, Google searching shades of orange show "salamander" to be the closest to it's color. Top of cap is very succulent looking, almost translucent and has maze like wrinkles. Largest cap ~ 1.5cm wide and total height with stem ~1cm. Gills white with a tinge of pink. Gills close but not crowded, adnexed. The stem similar in color to gills but more white, largest stem ~.5cm. Some clusters and some individual, all growing from fuzzy white mold-like streaks along the wood. Honey yellow "sap" ozzing from a couple without disturbance the consistency being between oil and watered down honey. Spore print light yellow brown. Any suggestions help thank you!
