Something about the first reminds me of Lyophyllum decastes, but I can't recall if they show any obvious pileus striations or not.

EDIT; Now thinking Psathyrella for some reason. Slightly hygrophanous, pale stipes, but quite chunky unlike something I'd expect Psathyrella to exhibit. Hmm

EDIT; Nope, surely not a Psathyrella. I give up.

The orange one is definitely stropharia aurantiaca. Described a rare in some books but now frequent due its spread on woodchips and garden mulch. I have seen it in front gardens in Meols and most recently on a heath near Manchester

Keeping an open mind seems to be a good thing in Mycology

Melanoleuca a possibility?

Your photo's are lovely mate, it's my brain that's not very good.
