PNW identification of non-active?

Habitat: Where does it grow? Eg. woods, pasture, state, province, country, altitude, etc. What does it grow on? Eg. soil, dung, wood (dead, living, what kind of wood?), etc.
* Coastal Oregon, lots of pines and giant ferns around, semi-mossy.
Gills: Color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc.
* Please see pictures.
Stem: Length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc.
* Hollow stipe but sort of thick but not really. It didn't break when pinched but wasn't soft like, say, a fresh cube. Somewhere between that and a bolete maybe?
Cap: Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.
* Please see pics.
Spore print color: Very important!
Bruising: Color that the mushroom bruises, if any.
* No bruising T +30 minutes.
Other information: Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.
* Just smelled like a mushroom. Was off a game trail into this different type of grove that seemed out of sorts.
I thought it was cute and there were a few hundred or more. Wondering what these are just to know. 
Check out that veil hanging by a thread 
Please and thank you for your time.
Edit: Image upload problems past 3 days, it was supposed to upload two others that exist but don't exist on this server. Sorry.

What level university book do you suggest I start reading, Alan? Brush up on my biology and eco, read the PNW book, then what else? What myco books are like, sophomores in college reading? Thank you and you're quick to wit.
...and hey, I'm not going to be the guy to ask for an ID every time I see one, it's just cool seeing mycologists, scientists and TIs and the rest of the lot.
Help me make this college level. Or show me somewhere I can? I should've stuck with bio or biochem tbh. =/

Wonderful, thank you. I'm tired of not applying the basic things I know, and I know what I'm looking for. I think maybe I'm just loving this too much and getting distracted by all the other fungi and losing hunting time. Not such a bad thing though, haha.
