Hey guys. Me and a friend of mine went on our first actual mushroom hunt about a week ago, and we finally got the pictures rolling.
Habitat: Growing in the ground, underneath a pine tree with heavy fertilized soil.
Gills: Dark brown, with faint white streaks.
Stem: An off white, hollow, fragile.
Cap: Brown/redish in the center, light brown towards the edges. Rather smooth. White marks, possibly from animals/bug encounters,ripping on the edges,
Bruising: No noticeable color change.
Location: North Eastern USA.
We're still waiting on the spore print.Also, there are more species but I'm still awaiting for more info. Thanks in advance

those white lines are allong the edge of the gill plates, no? those are a layer of cheilocystidia [s type of sterile, or non spore producing cell] which remain pale where the rest of the gill face produces basidia [spore producing cells]and becomes encrusted with said spores.
your find looks to be an Agaricus though it could alternately be a species of Stropharia.

It is far better to seperate field collections in the field than in the hospital. keep them sorted.
