ID Request Please NE Florida (Amanita or Russula?, no spores >_<)

I apologize in advance if there is not enough information (such as the photos [broken mushroom, no bulbs][[noob]]). Though I only picked two out of probably 8 - 10 shrooms available, so I can go back for more. The images are large, and you may need to zoom out of the page to see them better (usually CTRL + -). I will do my best on future posts to conform better to the guidelines.
#1 Amanita Muscaria / Russula?





Habitat: Thick, mixed woods (Pine, Oak, Palm, Magnolia...) in northeast Florida.
What does it grow on? Soil, near roots of mostly Pines, some deadwood near with other types of mushrooms (later)
Gills: Color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc.
Stem: Length: a couple inches tops Diameter: a few cm Color: Pales, off-whites Texture: Smooth, no visible skirt or ring
Cap: 2-3 inches diameter Tricholomatoid [28.10] to Slightly depressed (pileus) [29.24] Reds, crimsons No spots or warts really, but it has rained hard the past week. One was more dry, and the other had a slight "wet" look to it, but seems to have faded after picking.
(Note, since I know practically nothing about mushrooms [but with growing interest in learning] I didn't touch the "wet" looking one with my hands as I equated it a Poison Dart Frog's skin.)
Spore print color: Very important!
I know this is important, but I picked these before I even registered to learn what they were. I will try to go back to the area to get a proper spore print and full stem -> bulb
Bruising: Didn't notice much bruising, but one of them seems to be rotting (see pictures of browning gills)
Other information: From some surfing, I feel like this is either a Amanita or Russula, but I know nothing. :p

Thanks, doctorghostly! [for dashing my hopes ] Much appreciated. So glad I came here to ask (instead of stupidly eating it)!
