First Hunt ID help

Went on my first hunt and lo and behold of course found at least one thing to get a little excited about so let me know what you think. There are a few pics at the bottom of other things I'm curious about feel free to overlook those.
Habitat: In the woods on the edge of a path. Nearby there is a river, it rained 3 days ago. I'm in south carolina and it has been very hot lately (above 90), but found this in about 80 degree weather.

Gills: Black or VERY dark blue. I'm not very sure how to describe them honestly. they seem typical to a certain variety and I believe my pics of the gills are decent.
Stem: around three inches long, maybe a cm in diameter. some hollow area inside. see pics
Cap: Diameter of about 2 inches or a bit more. darkish with hues of white and brown/gold to even darker. Round and flattish but wavyish.
Spore print color: I did not do a sport print due to the very obvious print left on one of the caps by another. It is very inky black like the gills.
Bruising: It's hard to say as I think this specimen is rather mature. seems already pretty bruised. black or dark blue.
Other information: I am a beginner to the extreme but have done a bit of research on here such as reading the rules and looking up my area. I'm in Columbia, SC which sees Gymnopilus junonius, Gymnopilus luteus, Panaeolus cinctulus, Psilocybe cubensis , Psilocybe caerulipes, Psilocybe caerulescens. Looks to me like they could be Panaeolus cinctulus or Psilocybe caerulescens. I don't really know obviously and these are not the best specimens for IDing I don't think. Any help is greatly appreciated.

As a side note, I found a few other interesting things. Please don't be upset by the informality of this, I don't expect IDs BUT if anybody happens to know something about this other mushroom (the large one) I don't think it's active but unlike many of the shrooms I found which surely weren't, I'm not fully convinced with this one. In addition I found a little colony of tiny mushroomlettes that I have no idea whatsoever about so if you have anything to say about that let me know! Sorry for the extras, feel free to skip over them entirely.

Your first (black gills) is likely a Lacrymaria species.

after some googling that does seem to fit the bill pretty well. the very dark gills should be a giveaway I guess that I didn't have one of the species I previously mentioned perhaps. thanks for the input!

Found these in the uk today. Not familiar with these just the Liberty caps which I couldn't find many of.. they normally bloom late September in Derbyshire. I just need a confirmation on the type and weather they're good to go not touching until I know to do so.
