ID Request, found in a lawn in S. Georgia

Hello everyone,
Found these in a yard, believed it to be P. Foenisecii but figured I'd take it home and make a spore print cuz why not. Spore print didn't match a P. Foenisecii, and given it's shape and coloration, I believe it might be P. Ovoideocystidiata. What do you guys think? Picked these about 2 days ago so they're kind of dried up in the picture... Sorry, I've been busy.
CAP: Approximately 1.75 inches long. Undulated, with a central depression. Mainly a yellow-ish color with splashes of brown, and I believe there are little spots of blue (although in the picture they appear black)
STEM: Hollow, I remember it being white when first picked, as of right now it is white-ish brown. Hollow. Not sure on original size, probably an inch or so.
GILLS: Brown, adnate to the stem. Keep in mind, it is dried in the pictures I took so it looks free, but originally it t'wasnt.
SPORE PRINT: Purple-ish brown, maybe purple-ish black. Way too dark to be the P. Foenisecii's chestnut color.
WHERE: Growing in a lawn in Southern Georgia about 20 minutes from Florida, after heavy rainfall

Looks like a Hypholoma to me.

I'm going to have to agree with domesticgnome as it being a hypholoma. Check this link out and I imagine it's what your mushroom would have looked like fresh. Either this or something closely related. http://www.fungi4schools.org/Reprints/Photoset01/Hypholoma_fasciculare_Sulphur_tuft.jpg
Of the very, very few wild ovoids I've had the pleasure of seeing with my own eyes over the last 10 years or so in the extreme SE Michigan area the gills were always much darker in older fruits and they stained blue heavily. We found one extremely dried out one that looked nearly purple from natural drying. The mushroom you have has salmonish gills and absolutely no blue, it would have at least some blueing from the natural drying. Also they tend to like wooded areas by streams or places with a lot of water run off from what I've seen people post in the hunting forums on here. Up here in MI they are rare, rare, rare and my shroom group has only ever found them on rotting wood chips at an abandoned farm. I'd guarantee its not active though, keep hunting. I've hear cow pastures are good places to study mycology in Georgia this time of year from a few friends.

They have had what they love most taken from them, be it freedom, love, money, or anything for that matter. When you lose your greatest love you also lose your greatest fear, when that happens you are completely and utterly free.
