PNW Coastal - Under lone pine amidst azzie patch (Marasmius plicatulus)

I'm guessing over mature azzies but I know I'm guessing I'm wrong.
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.
Under a single pine in a flat coastal plain. I moved the needles and felt the dirt and it was woody/sandy. Azzies grew uphill and left to right and downhill.
See picture. Stems were red and thin, turning to beige as the stipe met the cap.
Stem: Length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc.
Hollow. Thin like basic grounding wire. Bent like a sun baked azzie stem mixed with the "bendy straw" mycena.
Cap: Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.
Please see photo.
I picked one and it turned my bag black, and fast. I couldn't differentiate if spores or decay. Probably both. Not a lot of wind made it to this area.
No distinguishing bruising on stem where red meets beige.
Smelled like mushrooms. Gills fluffy, clustered like over ripe and upturned cyans. *Almost* smelled like a cluster of azzies but not really. They were all around it though so I couldn't differentiate. This pine provided a lot of cover from the rain and was significantly drier than the surrounding area.
Someone's always been in there picking or using it as cover. Looked like a nice spot to rest away from the elements. I took a breather to get out of the cold rain while in there.

Cortinarius Telamonia doesn't match stem.
Psathyrella...?
Thanks guys'n'gals.

Eek. Not even close.
Thank you.
I hope people aren't picking these amidst so many azzies. Got a dozen or so not far from where the ferns broke, maybe four or five paces away.
I really do appreciate it. And sorry for the terrible pics, almost fried my phone, so much rain that day.

Those are the fucking slimers I keep running into out in the dunes. the blue bruising is definitely not helpful. The bright orange stems and the drippy slime kept me away, but there IS legends among the dumbasses out here about "death cap" azurescens. I've found 2 look alike and I believe one of these nastis is the culprit for all the dipshittery.

I'm fairly convinced people must be eating the wrong mushrooms in conjunction with actives. I've been around enough people who do incredibly stupid things while tripping to know people can't be this stupid just off psychs... but then I go read the Pub or Psych Experience and yes people can be that stupid..

I agree with you completely. I was just talking with a nice old hippie man I met at the parking lot on the same mission as I that had a huge pile of inactives next to his van that a guy had picked thinking they were azzies. Lucky for him he was smart enough to see an old hippie and know he'd know if they were any good or not. He said out of the 30 mushrooms the guy found 1 of them was actually an azurescens. There's plenty of people that don't give a crap about juju and only see money when they hear from a friend where and how. Or want the enlightening buzz so badly that they just want to believe that they're active even though they probably know on some level that they're not. Either way the difference between the mystifying wives tales I've heard from multiple accounts in the Seaside area and the cold educational approach of the Astorian's I've conversed with is quite humorous to myself to observe.
