ID PLZ - Monsters under the porch :)

Habitat: I found these big guys all over underneath a friend's porch. Central Missouri in the USA. It was nice fall weather, about 65-78 F? They were in clusters and a few were loners. The area had a very VERY light fall of leaves and the mushies were growing from the ground. Very nice looking grass under there btw. So they were growing on soil.
Gills: The gills are white. I can't remember what the name is for this type of gill but I have included a close up to show.
Stem: The stems I would say are fairly short, can't be any longer than 3 inches (maybe more?). There is a ring or extra layer of ring wrapping around the stem. They are NOT hollow and there is a shade of bruising. Can't tell if it's purple or just a shiny dark brown from the bruising.
Cap: The caps very in size. Some smaller, some bigger and then the clusters. The smaller ones have a modern day umbrella shape with a darker spot in the middle. and gets lighter the further out it goes. Except the smaller ones have a more point out in the center, gets tan but then a ring of brown and then light tan again on the end of the cap. The bigger ones kind of sink in a little bit on the tip/center of the cap.
Spore print color: I would assume white but in the process of one now.
Bruising: Either a brown, dark brown or purple shade. not sure. I got a close of of the bruising.
Other information: The mushie smells like it would taste delicious. I took a small pen tip piece of the cap and ate it. Tasted yummy and seems like a good fry. It's been 12 hours later and I am not feeling sick. I was drinking when I found them and do know the road was moving around on me on the drive home but I was also tired beings it was 3:35AM when I found them things.
Need any more info, let me know plz - I found a BUNCH of these things, they are very eye appealing.

The gills are attached to the stem - they start to dip up into the cap but quickly curve back out like a bat wing attaching to the stem, fyi

Someone at the party said they look like, "Hen" mushies - if they are, that is good eating right?

Hen's are Grifola frondosa which aren't really a mushroom in the sense they do not hae cap, stem, and gills. These we commonly call Honey Mushrooms. They're quite good. Nothing spectacular but a nice solid mushroom which holds up well to sauteeing or grilling. I like 'em and they grow by the hundreds of thousands sometimes.
