Summary: I suspect that it is more of the case that “the white one didn’t have pink gills…yet.”

I also vote volvariella.

Summary: the White one did not have pink gills at all

I know that the other one is Panaeolus species but they were growing together on goat dung under aspen so it would seem to be a Volvariella species but the gills are pure white, may be its an albino?

Summary: panaeolus

The Panaeolus is likely to be P. papilionaceus.

Summary: .

Agreed. One if definitely Panaeolus and the other is definitely Volvariella. The way that the gills dip down below the cap margin is the most obvious indicator.

Summary: mixed collection/Volvariella

The first picture looks like a mixed collection (with Panaeolus?), and the main collection looks more like Volvariella. Did the gills have a pink hue?
