Need Help with Weilii/Look-alike Identification

I am new to mushroom hunting. However I live in Cherokee County and know of the prominence of Weilii in this region. I found this group not while hunting but doing my job. They were growing under and large marble slab which had created a small space for them to grow in moist dirt and decaying leaves. I was told to put the slab back in place (it was the side of a flower box)and in doing so I found and also crushed most of the mushrooms. The grew in clusters and were frozen. They have thick light brown stalks and brown gills. I cannot see any bluish bruising that may indicate it as Weilii. I wonder if the freezing may have something to do with that? I would also like to note that the peak of the cap slightly concaves in, as seen in the picture. Anyway, I grabbed all I could find stuffed my pockets and continued until we were finished with the house(In Canton). I feel bad for not preserving them but I wouldn't have found them any other way. I am currently in the process of printing however I am very anxious. I would appreciate feedback and I would like to make it known that I am very doubtful in believing these are Weilii and will not pursue anything until absolute 100% positivism. Sorry for the lack of in-tact specimens, I tried... http://imgur.com/a/sn4u3

Sorry...not 100% on what they ARE but I am 100% sure they are not "weilii" too late/early in the year for them. And also, it was recently proven that the "weilii" we have are indeed Psilocybe caerulescens (Mexican landslide mushroom) But do some research on here...you're in some prime hunting area there!!

If the spore print is rusty brown, it's a Cortinarius from subgenus Telamonia.
