Habitat: Growing in Northern Indiana, in a small patch of woods, on top of some mulch and dead leaves, very warm weather 80f and up and very humid in the 80-90% range. Lots of rain before they started growing.
Gills: Adnate or adnexed, Close together, basically same color as cap, not really any defining features.
Stem: A few inches in length, no ring on stipe, slightly white and brown
Cap: Rusty brownish, campanulate or convex, occasionally flat
Spore print color: Very obviously brown
Bruising: Tried bruising but nothing showed up

Agrocybe putaminum or something close.
Very nice ID request.

Thank a ton! I picked some for fun to display in a glass case, I used gloves and washed my hands thoroughly, I shouldn't be in fear of poisoning should I? I do realize this was a bad idea, not planning on doing it again.

You can't be harmed by handling even the most deadly mushrooms, let alone Agrocybe.
Mushroom hunters routinely taste pieces of mushroom to aide in identification by chewing up a small piece and spitting it out.
You did nothing risky; in fact, you did a smart thing by checking with experts to have your mushrooms identified.

It was a good idea, you should do it again.
