Two for ID Help Please

Found today, but struggling to ID these: -

No.1 - Growing directly on stumps, fallen branches & twigs, under Pine.
Caps up to approx. 40mm diameter, stipes up to approx. 70mm height.

Possibly a Hypholoma?

No.2 - Growing in scattered troupes, amongst needle litter, under Larch.
Caps to approx. 50mm diameter, stipes to approx 80mm tall.

Possibly a Clitocybe?

Any help towards ID's much appreciated.
Regards,
Mike.

Hello Mike,

the first is - yes - a Hypholoma: Hypholoma marginatum
The second is Clitocybe for sure, but which? Just from the picture I would baptise it Clitocybe vibecina ...

best regards,
Andreas

Thanks very much Andreas.

Aarghh! - I thought Snakeskin Brownie - Hypholoma marginatum, and Mealy Funnel - Clytocybe vibecina, before posting.
But the variation in these examples, from photos I have in books, had me doubting I'd be correct, and I wasn't confident enough to "stick my neck out" and say so. (I should have been more positive

).

Regards,
Mike.
