Gyms and Various Identifications

I'm in costal Georgia! Found what I believe to be some Gyms and several other mushrooms that peaked my interest. I am new to hunting and I have been doing a lot of research so I feel like I'm on the verge of being able to identify for certain some but I think you should always get some other opinions! Any help would be great, thank you!!
Habitat: Heavily wooded area, lots of pines. Found in moist "ditch" area with decaying wood and dark soil. Various other mushrooms were present in the area!
Gills: White, attached, crowded
Stem: Thick and whiteish
Cap: Rounded and smooth, orangish/tan
Spore print color: None as of yet 
Bruising: Did not bruise
Other information: I know that no bruising isn't the best sign, but man these smelled JUST like Weilli's and they were sticky on the top.

The rest of these have been collected from brush in the same wooded area.
Possibly a type of Gym? Spongy gills, smooth "sticky" cap, spore print is coming off dark blue/purple very minimal print so far. Orange rust colored cap. Stem is thick.

   
Not sure of these, same habitat though.

 The stem of this one was very thin, no spore print came out.
  Not spore print on these, clusters of them in same moist wooded area near decaying plants and trees.
This one has a beige top, very close white gills, smells pleasant, thick stem was there, no spore print on this either because a dark ring.
 
Any info would be great! still letting the spore prints set so hopefully I get some more from these.

sorry bud, no cigar...some kind of polypore. Gyms tend to grow off of woody substrates, have orange to yellow GILLS, orange to yellowish purple fruiting bodies, and an orange spore print.

What about these? I found them off of the bottom of a tree, they have orange gills, and spore print (while light) is orange toned so far.
 
Thanks!

not too sure, possibly, but something seems off...however the cap of the mushroom at the top of the 2nd pic looks like an Old Man of the Woods aka Strobilomyces Floccopus

That's what I was thinking for that one as well! I heard they don't taste too good though so I may put that in the compost. Here's more of the same one, just showing location and details

You sure the gills on the first one are attached? Damn thing looks like an Amanita rubescens.
The second one is a Suillus species, or some weird genus that used to be in Suillus.

So here's some more of those! Also, if you have any idea what the last two could be, it smells just like a Weillii? I know it isn't but I know smell can be an indicator. Maybe its a honey mushroom though. These are just more pictures of the one's on this post.

Thank you! I made another post regarding the one's I really did think were Gyms. Now I am just curious as to what these could be. These are all in large amounts where I wander around and so I would like to be able to identify them for future reference!

I'm pretty sure you have Amanita rubescens. There are clear veil remenants on some of the caps, the volva is indistinct and your new photos show the slow red bruising on the maggot tunnels in the stalk. It's common under pine in GA.
I've never found P. weilii, so I don't know what it smells like. A. rubescens has a rather generic Amanita odor though, so I don't know what's up with that. Different peoples noses work differently though.
Edit: Don't know about the last 2 on your new post.
