more foreign fungi from Africa ... any ideas?

topside view of fungi in pic 1464 on a log in the coastal sand forest . . .

this is the underside of pic 1465 found on a log in the coatal sand forest . . .

on the floor of the coastal sand forest - amongst the leafy mulch . . .

this one found in the sand in my garden on a secondary vegetated dune in NE KZN,South Africa, close to Moçambique. . .

#3 looks like one from the (old) Collybia genus, now split, so probably in the Gymnopus genus now. Gymnopus confluens maybe.

I would agree that No. 3 should be Collybia/Gymnopus but with it being South Africa I would tread carefully with the actual species.
