I think you will find the first one is a very old waterlogged Sulfur Tuft.

My first thought with the second was Psathyrella candolleana but on looking it up I think the gills are too pale - so I'm quickly stumped

Mal | the gills dont seem to have any of the olive green tinge,that sulphur tuft seems to have,and it seems more delicate than sulphur tuft,especially in the stem??

Pauline | Hi Pauline, thanks for the suggestion, i dont even know where to start with this one 
i've been finding these for some time now,mostly under beech,they tend to go dry and wrinkly as they age and persist in that state for quite some time,

It reminds me a of a Collybia, but I think that's just the way the gills are attached. |

i had considered it being Collybia confluens, which seems to fit the bill in most respects,but not at all convinced,

its reminding me of C. butyracea but all the ones I have seen this year have been on their own and not in a clump like that |

Not C. butyracea though due to as you say, the clustering nature and the hoary stipe. Seems rather tall for Collybia though- a real puzzler, but let us be honest, isn't this what it's all about!?  | | |
