Inexperienced. Need some help IDing

I'd really appreciate an ID on these. I'm new at all this and I don't want to accidentally poison myself. I found these growing on a log in the woods of southern Pennsylvania.


And then these were found just growing in the muddy undergrowth under a tree.


I'm not sure what other information is needed, just ask me if there's anything else you need to know. Thanks a lot

Maybe a gymnopilus and some honey mushrooms. I am no expert!

They're all Honey Mushrooms (Armillaria). Edible, not active.
If you intend to eat them, be certain that you cook them thoroughly. If even a little bit undercooked they will make you sick.
-------------------- Happy mushrooming!

FWIW - Take a spore print and key them out - these should be straightforward.If you really want a shortcut and the spore prints are white - compare your pickings with descriptions of Armillaria Mellea and Armillaria Tabescens. Pictures alone are sometimes not enough so it's helpful and sometimes essential to do a sporeprint to aid in ID anyway. I am not a trusted identifier though I think my suggestion will cover some or all of your find.
There's no hurry to eat them since over the next few days or weeks there will likely be many more in the general area you found these.

Some from the past two weeks.

Saw these yesterday and they were full grown about 30 hours later.

the op photos are not Armillaria Mellea or Armillaria Tabescens but a different species of Honey mushroom.
