They were all growing on pine. One of the brownish colored cap mushroom's stem bruised a really dark purple on the base and just a darker color for the rest of it. There was no noticeable blue bruising.

Found a ton of interesting fungi today including literally about hundred specimens of g.penetrans. I will post the rest of my finds in a bit.
Some sorta amanita, very red on top-

Cool purple cortinarius(?) Growing from palm-


Weird possible gym growing by itself amongst leaf and pine needle litter. Had an orange annulus remnant just beneath the gills-


Slug munchin down on what I thought was g. Liquiritae-

I'd easily call your purple Cortinarius a C. violaceus. Note that many species of Cortinarius requires a display of the inner flesh to be identified by macroscopic features. Slice a mature specimen lengthwise in twain.
Your Amanita looks like a variety of A. muscaria. Dig up the mushroom with its base intact to display the entire volva. Also take good pictures of entire stem, annulus and gills.

Thanks for the info Anglerfish ill make sure to dig up that amanita if I return to that spot anytime soon. Here's a species that I found all over today. I can't decide between a gym, cort, laccaria, or what. They have orange gills with orange veil remnants, and even dropped orange spores. I found them growing in pine needle litter, green moss, some sorta dead wood, and even on a pine cone. Stems bruised red.





They seemed to love growing around this as well-

 Any ideas on this one? Lots of gym pictures to come.

 No offense. It would make you photo's much clearer.

Trust me, I know, but my phone camera does not have a macro setting. However, I've been plannning on buying a nice digital camera for a while now and should be getting one soon.

I think you actually can get a macro app for new "smart" phones - did I read about it on this forum perhaps? I still have a "stupid" phone so I don't know.
Probably nothing to bother with if you're on the verge of getting a proper setup in any case.

Whoa, I would have never thought that an app would improve my camera. I will toy around with some of them for sure, thanks once again.
Well I still have some shitty pictures id like to share in the meantime. Yesterday turned out to be not just my first, but my first three gymnopilus pine cone finds.
Here's what I think is g.liquiritae on a pinecone with a pretty penetrans.


I think sapineus/penetrans on this one-


Liquiritae?


Anndd here's some of the more attractive photos of penetrans frm yesterday-




I still have content to upload but it is truly a pain in the ass to do with my phone so ill get some more up later.

I also wanted to put this one up, the shape resembles some aeruginosus specimens I've seen and this was the only one of its kind that I've found. Maybe even galerina?
  The one in question is on the far right.

So cool you found it fruiting on a pine cone!

Thanks Suchen, it was pretty exciting finding all of those in one day. Here's a crazy cool gym found today on some thin unidentified wood. Look at how the gills bend upwards, the cap looks like a crown!! Also, sand and grass gyms are making a comeback so I will be sure to get some good photos of those.

Small gyms growing from buried palm-

Gym growing from pine with other penetrans, which led me to believe these are just mature penetrans but the scales on the cap threw me off-
Amanita everywhere, I'm pretty sure muscaria on all these-

Thanks guys! I haven't gotten a new camera yet, most of those recent photos were taken with my brother's tablet with the exception of a couple of those amanita pictures.

Ah, are you in the panhandle or elsewhere in northern Florida? All the best finds in the state come from Ocala and northward. Keep it up!
