Yup, number 1 is Amanita muscaria, the fly agaric. Muscaria causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and sweating of several hours duration. Easily antidoted with atropine. Definitely poisonous but not as bad as Amanita phalloides and a few others. Phalloides and its cousins causes the above but follows up with liver and kidney necrosis; often requires liver transplant to save life.
I don't know what the mushroom in image number 2 is. It's not phalloides.
Excellent book by David Arora: Mushrooms Demystified.
