They look right to me.
The paler ones, cant see the stem, but otherwise, they look right too.
Cheers
Ken

I'm confident that both of your species here are Flammulina velutipes  |

Spot on with your ID and the distinct stem characteristics which give this species it's common name of Velvet Shank are that of densely velvety and concolourous with the yellow/tan/honey of the cap when young and turning darker brown in maturity. Very much a winter fungus which can survive heavy frosts.
Cheers
