Hey everyone! I haven't been on for awhile, hope you're all doing good! We had a 2 day rain and I found these in some woody areas. I was wondering if anyone had any idea what they could be. I've got spore prints set out and I'm going to upload the pictures in the morning but I figured I'd throw the pics up and cross my fingers. I'm hoping that there is something of use in these 
Okay, so I found a bunch of these growing on rotting logs and trees. Nothing notable, no blueing, they fall apart easily and the older ones have a tint of pink to the gills. I'm pretty sure it's Pluteus cervinus.





I found these along a trail covered in dirt popped up about 6 inches. Looked pretty cool and I thought they might be edible. I haven't looked into them at all and haven't prepped a spore print yet.



I only found these growing next to trees and stumps, and found hundreds inside a hollowed out stump. Really fragile. I didn't collect these because I have seen them around town before. psathyrella??



These were tiny and were clustered along a pile of grass, mulch, and dirt. Didn't collect any.


These were kinda cool cuz they have a silvery haze to them. I have no clue what they are but they were growing next to a patch in the grass.


....and here are the ones I really hope are special. They were growing like crazy throughout a bunch of leaf and mulch in a gully like area. There was a huge canopy of trees above them. I rarely found a solo mushroom, they were all growing in groups.






Thanks again you guys, I'll have the prints up soon.

The top ones look like some sort of Pluteus sp. some are active but I have never read a trip report or heard of anyone eating them. So I wouldnt. The rest are definately not active.
Don't eat anything till a trusted identifier chimes in. Even if those Pluteus are active I don't think they are very potent. I would compare to Pluteus salicinus. Hopefully I'm kind of correct don't trust me yet. Hehe
I'm gonna need to brush up on Pluteus it seems. Cool finds.
Edit: oops looks like a mixed collection in your little Tupperware. The bottom yellowish fruit seems different.
Also look to see if any are bruising blue.

here is the "pluteus"? spore print lighting may be off but it is a very light pinkish tan.

Dang I was hoping the bottom ones were something active. I collected HELLLLLA oh well, I'll recycle them into compost. There isn't too much information on Pluteus americ. which I feel is vital..

Yea not a lot of personal info on eating those ones. I wanna say those are most likely inactive too. I would save the print dry the specimen and save for further lernin. Keep hinting you will know the moment you gaze upon a potent psilocybe.

first group of pics, something like pluteus cervinus. I wouldn't eat it personally without comparing it with the macroscopic (and perhaps microscopic) features of P. cervinus which can be found online.
second group of pics, Agaricus. Spores will be brown. Often (Not always though) when the mature gills are a certain color, the spores will be a similar color or that color.
third and fourth groups of pics are Psathyrella or perhaps something coprinoid. My vote is Psaths.
Not sure on 5th group
6th group is probably Inocybe.
