Possible Galerina ID Request

Hello everyone. I was hunting for ovoids and was testing out my new camera on the hunt. These mushrooms caught my eye, but I'm quite sure they're not what I was looking for. I just want to confirm what they are, I suspect them to be poisonous galerinas. But I'm no expert, so I'd like to get a few opinions before they are in the trash.
Habitat: Deciduous woods, about 200-300 yards away from a river. These were all found within a few feet of the same rotten log, growing off the wood.
Gills: A light orange/yellowish tint. I hesitate to further describe them with accuracy considering my limited knowledge, and will let the pictures speak for themselves.
Stem: An off color orange/yellow with a whitish tint. One was ripped down the length and seems to be hollow inside.
Cap: Smooth and moist looking orange caps with a small amount of brownish tint.
Spore print color: Awaiting spore print. Will post results when able.
Bruising: No bruising was apparent. Some seemed to have a grayish blue tint on parts, but not along the lines of the type of obvious bruising I've seen with fresh cubensis. Obviously these aren't cubensis since they don't grow here, but they are the only actives I've seen bruised in real life to compare it to.

I'm no expert too, but they do look like galerinas

I'm no expert either, but those are Galerina marginata.

Word, that's what I thought.
Thanks guys! Was still nice to get out in the woods today though. 
edit: And first hints of a spore print are in fact a brownish color for all specimens. Seems to confirm it.

It's not the number of mushrooms, it's the amount of amanitin (alpha, beta, gamma etc) combined.
I believe 7mg of of total amanitin is considered the LD50 (amount required to kill 50% of the people that eat that much).
I believe galerina contain alpha and gamma amanitin in a quanity that would render 1 gram dry or 10 grams fresh as the LD50.
Don't take me to task on these numbers, but I believe they are pretty close.
