Sup fellow mycos!
Could you please help me in identifying the following inactives. Just trying to learn more about the world of mushrooms! Even if my friends think it makes me not much of a 'fun guy'...
Oh ho ho!
Detailed information below~
~
Species I:
Habitat:
These mushrooms were found in South Australia, at a moderate altitude pine forest, in a natural basin. The area was moderately wooded, with various grassy plants growing nearby. The atmosphere was cool and humid, the earth was consistently damp.
These particular mushrooms were found at the base of a decomposing tree stump. Pine needles littered the floor.
Gills:
Convex, attached gills. Gill colour was earthy yellow, to grey-brown. Gill height was 5 - 8 mm, increasing inwards towards the stalk.
Stem:
Stems ranged from 40 - 60 mm in height; and 20 - 25 mm in width at the base, contracting to 15 - 20 mm near the top. They were solid, rigid, and particularly light. Colour was observed as mainly earthy yellow, with white and brown tones.
Cap:
Diameter of 35 - 50 mm . Moderately convex, no signs of nippling. Comparatively thick. Earthy yellow-brown skin, white creamy flesh.
Spore print color:
Rusty brown.
Bruising:
Not observed. Darkened with decomposition.
Other information:
Grew as a group. Only one specimen was found of this mushroom compared to the commonness of other species.

Species II:
Habitat:
These mushrooms were found in South Australia, at a moderate altitude pine forest, in a natural basin. The area was moderately wooded, with various grassy plants growing nearby. The atmosphere was cool and humid, the earth was consistently damp.
These particular mushrooms were near a decomposing pine branch, with large amounts of pine needle debris
Gills:
Attached gills, tucked up underneath the cap edge. Gill colour was fleshy pink, to gray-pink. Gill height was 1 - 2 mm.
Stem:
Stems ranged from 20 - 60 mm in height; and 8 - 12 mm uniform width. They were solid, slightly flexible, with colours of fleshy pink to pink-gray.
Cap:
Diameter of 15 - 20 mm . Moderately convex, depressed at the centre. Thin skin and flesh. Flesh pink to gray-pink skin.
Spore print color:
White.
Bruising:
Not observed. Darkened with decomposition.
Other information:
Grew as a group. Only one specimen was found of this mushroom.

Species III:
Habitat:
These mushrooms were found in South Australia, at a moderate altitude pine forest, in a natural basin. The area was moderately wooded, with various grassy plants growing nearby. The atmosphere was cool and humid, the earth was consistently damp.
These particular mushrooms were found on a wet piece of bark, near a decomposing log.
Gills:
Convex, attached gills. Gill colour was white to light yellow-brown. Gill height was 2 - 3 mm.
Stem:
Stem was about 30 mm in height; and 4 - 5 mm in width at the base. It was solid and fragile. With colour of white to creamy white.
Cap:
Diameter of 20 mm . Moderately convex. Honey yellow-brown skin, with a white rim about the cap edge. White to creamy white flesh.
Spore print color:
Moderate brown.
Bruising:
Not observed. Darkened with decomposition.
Other information:
Only a single specimen was found

Species IV - V (bonus round!):
Habitat (IV): Decomposing tree log.
Habitat (V): Moist soil, pine needle debris.
Everything else I'm too lazy, the pictures speak for themselves. No samples were taken, no spore print collected.

Cheers for your help fellow mushbros!

Cheers for the help! For Species III I am refering to the little honey coloured mushroom at the bottom (not the one to the right of it, which looks to be a Mycena or possibly a Psathyrella).

Check for bruising, especially in the pins. There is a good chance they are not, though.

No evident bruising other then slight discolouring. Looks like the hunt continues!
The spore prints if it helps:
