    The first one is obviously a true morel, probably Morchella importuna, which is the most common variety found in landscape settings; and this is the season for morels. I'm not familiar with the second group of mushrooms; it would be helpful to see the colour of the top of the cap along with a spore print. However, it is pretty distinctive; someone may be able to identify it from the photos provided.

    The second one may be Coprinus. I'm not too good with 'shrooms though.

    The spore print. Looks black to me. I think this is the same mushroom. It only lasts a day or two.
