Hi Ladyhawk,

The specimen in your first picture could really of done with a few more angles, such as as the underside of the mushroom and the rest of the stem. If there were any other more mature specimens nearby they would of helped with ID if included in the picture. As it is, it is too immature and not giving us enough information to give a precise ID. It could be a number of things including Macrolepiota Chlorophyllum or more doubtfully Agaricus or as someone has suggested Amanita. The pink species has the same problem but I would hazard a guess at it being either Mycena pura or Mycena rosea.

Hope this helps

Andy
