Yet another noob finds mushrooms and can't id........ Lee County, North Carolina

Hey all, I'm brand new here, I've been hunting/identifying for a grand total of a month, wow, right? So I'm in Lee County, NC. I found these guys growing on a decaying hardwood, there are about 6 different clusters of them. They are hollow stem, gills look to be crowded.... I'm so new at this, I'd love to be able to give you a description, but I'm afraid I'd be wrong. I tried to take good pics, and got a small spore print. Instead of listing the 4 species they look like to me. I'd like to see what y'all think, thanks in advance. And FYI, everything y'all say, is knowledge to me (learning experience

Thank you, I'm not doubting you, I'm asking you..... I looked into mycena because of the white fringe edge of the cap, and the striate cap. But the spore print I got looks reddish brown (pic), everything I've read says mycena is white. Also all the mycena I've seen pics of, don't have gills as crowded as the ones I've found. Am I looking at the wrong things? I'm a total newbie, thank you again for your feed back!

Are you sure the first image is the same as the other three? Its kind of hard to tell what is in the first image, but I wouldn't think Mycena either. The other three images do show Mycena though.

Yes sir, they where taken from the very same cluster. They are the only ones I picked that day, I'm positive those pics go togather.I was hoping they where Psilocybe caerulipes, but they look like 4 other mushrooms I find.

Must be Mycena then, the spore print looks more like just moisture from the mushroom. Take prints on foil from now on, it will be easier to see any color spore print.

Only actives I found in nc were cubensis. Lived there for like 7 years in Monroe area.
