Please help ID mushrooms

I will appreciate help in ID mushrooms I found in the middle of October in Michigan. One is a dark gray mushroom living in big families (does not look to me as honey mushroom, though), another is a white one. Please see pictures attached. Thanks.

First photo looks like a gray Tricholoma species. There are several which occur in North America, and they are difficult to ID to species. Spore print should be white. Definitely not Honey Mushrooms.

Second photo may show the same type as the first photo. Need to see more details... for instance, the undersides/stems on a few.

Third photo... Stem is sliced off where it had attached to the cap. So observable traits (from a photo) have been lost. Need to see the entire stem and the way in which the gills attach to the stem. Looks like the whitish one came from an area with pine.

Habitat info can be helpful. Also, spore print color is useful.
