Hey guys, I've been hunting shrooms and lurking around here for a while, but have never posted before. So I'll do my best to give you guys the info you need and hopefully you can help me.
Location: I picked these in a wooded area in southwestern Illinois
Habitat: Left one- laying on the ground upside down near a dead tree branch as if it had broken off Top one- growing out of the ground next to a dead tree branch Right one- on a dead tree branch
Cap: Left one- brown in the center, lighter at the edges. Shiny, floppy, and fragile, it has already fallen apart. I don't really care much about that one anyway. Top one- Umbonate, fraying up at the edges. About 2cm. in diameter. It's a lot lighter in the picture, it's a actually a darker brown. Right one- Round, maybe slightly depressed on top. About 3.75cm in diameter. Redish- orange like a peach. As you can see in the picture it has what looks like popped bubbles on top.
Stem: Top one- seems to be an off white-ish. Fragile, fibered kind of like string cheese or a greenstick. I was able to get a piece of its mycelium by scooping up the mud around it. Right one- white, and fairly rigid. It was attached to the side of a dead tree branch so it's curved about 90 degrees.
Gills: Top one- as mentioned earlier they curve and kind of fray out to the side with the cap. Right one- the gills curve downward with the cap, like an upside down bowl


I haven't observed any bruising and I am in the process of making spore prints, if you need them. The left one I don't really care about, an ID is just for the hell of it. But my uneducated guess is that the top shroom is maybe a panaeolus cinctulus, and the right is a gym.

the one on the left Entoloma sp., the top one is mycena sp., the one with the cool looking cap I would guess is a Pluteus sp.

Could it be Rhodotus palmatus?
