Central Florida Finds December

Found these in medium heavy wooded area. Mostly hardwoods around the trunk area. There was a lot of them, both in several large clusters and occasionally individuals away from the trunks.
The caps were up to 5 inches across, mostly smooth texture.
Gills attached. Little or no collar.
Larger stipes were 3/4" in diameter.
  
Omphalina illudens? Or maybe some type of Gym?

Thanks. I'm guesing they are not active. Are they toxic?

Yes, they're toxic.

They may also glow in the dark.

The older they are, the less likely they will glow. The ones in this post look rather old unfortunately.

Glow in the dark? How cool. There were some younger ones too, so I went out and looked at them again after midnight, but all I saw was a slight moon reflection. It was nice coming through the trees.

Found these in a cypress stand near a lake in central Florida a couple weeks back.
 
Gymnopolis? If so, which one. Thanks in advance for any pointers. Been trying to do my homework, but it's quite a challenge to get up to speed. Sorry for the poor picture quality. No doubt I have some work to do there as well.

they really look like Armillaria, probably tabescens... however, that is a shit load of conifer debris. can you confirm that is a hardwood branch under there??

Almost certainly hardwoods. The area is somewhat swampy in the wet months, so it's mostly cypress with a few oaks. Note the cypress fronds laying around, and what looks to be a maple leaf.
