Ok so today I went for a short hunt and found something i have never encountered here before. I know these little suckers are active but i can't find a positive ID. Never seen this species here before... here being the mountains of eastern Kentucky USA... in rich black soil in deciduous forest. Lots of moss and fern undergrowth and we have had extreme amounts of rain lately... the blue green tinge caught my eye immediately.. and upon picking the bruising was swift and hard...but i have to say the color in these pictures does not do the the amount of blueing justice.. very unique looking little bastards if i do say so myself... I really wanted to get a habitat shot but my kid was fn with my phone and locked it out for an hour by putting in the wrong password... so i had to pick and bring them home to document the find... hope someone can tell me what these lil bastards are.. they sure are cute .. being so nicely blue and all... there was 5 found in about a six inch circle free of leaves on a slanted well watered bank... one was dropped on the trip out .. sad.. i must admit i wasn't prepared for a hunt and the day didn't start with a mushroom hunt ion mind.. hence being so ill prepared.. also found these other unknowns growing on a downed locust tree.. cauhgt my eye anyways.. enjoy the pics guys and let me know what these lil blue devils are if possible.. happy hunting!

They don't look active not sure why those young ones are blueing.
Maybe Psathyrella species

Humidicutis is a small genus of brightly colouredagarics, the majority of which are found in Eastern Australia. ~ Wikipedia do these grow in NA? I dont see anything with a location for those. Im stickin with Leotia, either way

Yep .. Leotia Lubrica seems pretty legit.. never even heard of the genus before.. ya learn something new everyday i guess.. that bluing really threw me off .. and i couldn't find any examples of blue bruising like this in any of the pics online of this species.. except for the obviously darker colored caps on some specimens..dunno why these bruised this way .. thanks for the fast response guys.. !

Those aren't actually bruising blue. It can be hard to tell sometimes, but some of the blue bruising boletes make it really obvious:
