fungi id/confirmation please

Hi all,
my guess for the first one is honey fungus. I found a group growing at the base of a tree

The second picture is of some fungi found growing in amongst ferns. The caps where quite large , around 4 to 5 inches
im thinking common funnel cap.

both mushrooms where found on the edge of deciduous woodland

Any suggestions would be appreciated
many thanks

ps the pictures where taken in poor light with flash.

Hi Mark,

Your first fungus is in fact Pholiota squarrosa the second may well be Clitocybe gibba it is hard to tell with the light on your pic, it is definitely a species of Clitocybe.
