nice pics, im guessing:

#1 Mycena sp.

#2 Laccaria sp.

for some general mushroom information have a look around the RBG fungi section, you can navigate around using the menu on the left.

have a read through some of the threads over on the shroomery hunting forum. it should help give you an idea of the sort of things you should be looking for to help with making an accurate id.

will post some others when im not so tired

Maybe I been smoking too much but are there bluish tinges at those cap margins and at the stem base or is that just an artefact of the lighting.

agree with genki

yeah .. could be a Psilocybe, pity no spore print.. its viscid like a Mycena though and the stem looks super smooth like a Mycena. but the gills are off-white like a Psilocybe.

Nah, I wasn't thinking psilocybe. I was thinking more along the lines of Mycena cyanorrhiza an active Mycena species. Could be something related ?

A note of caution though. Certain mycena species are known to be toxic as far as I know.
