Two more fungi that I'm having trouble to ID,

Growing on the side of a fallen rotting log, approx 1 1/2 inches across, a type of oyster fungi ?

This pair were growing amongst the leaf litter of a deciduous woods, about an inch tall, there were about a dozen or so in a patch about a metre square,
the cap colour looks very much the colour of verdi-gris, greenish grey ??

Thanks for any suggestions, Nick

First one could be Piptoporus betulinus but I'm not sure at all. If it's birch it was growing on then I'm probably right, don't take my word for it!

To me, the first one does look like a young Pleurotus. Possibly P.ostreatus, or P.pulmonarius, but a little too young for me to be confident.

The second looks like Aniseed Funnel - Clytocybe odora, that hasn't yet flattened out from its early convex shape.
