Possible baby BLG's?

Are these baby gymnopilus junionus? I found them around a rotted tree stump while hiking and have found adult gyms in the same area but have never before seen baby BLG's before. They were wet when I found them and they literally bleed orange when you pick them up, so much my hands looked like they were spray tanned lol. They have some very slight brown bruising but no blue on the stem. I found about a dozen small clumps of these but only took one back since I didn't want to ruin them before they had a chance to fully grow. My phone was dead so I couldn't take pics so I sacrificed one little cluster. If these are gyms I plan on going back and harvesting the full grown ones soon, but it is a rough hike and I'm only willing to do it again for some of these haha. The color is a little off in the pics but they are a brownish orange color and the stem is like a beige-white splotched with some orange (possibly spores??). The stem is a little more striped vertically like a gym then depicted in the picture. Sorry for the horrible pics. They have a very strong earthy smell too, not at all like that of honey mushrooms. Anyways any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Also, I tried with a spore print but just orange liquid bled to the paper and they don't even have "opened" gills being so little and young. I had to trim one's cap around the gills to expose them to the paper better.

I totally forgot about eastern jack o lanterns! I should have put that together, but I have difficulty identifying pins anyways. This is why this forum is great! Thanks for the input! I had a feeling there a good chance they weren't BLG's but just wanted to check. And for the record I guess I am a hippie lol. Thanks guys.
