ID please (Gymnopilus?)

Hi Everyone!
This is my first post- I'm happy to join you all, and look forward to continuing to learn more about our common passion.
I found this little cluster at the base of an elm tree. I've been looking for some Laughing Gyms, but am aware the deadly Gallerina Autumnalis share some characteristics. Therefore, I'm sticking to the Liberty Caps that grow wild in this part of the world (I'm in PEI Canada). My primary interest is their use as an entheogen, a sacred tool or sacrament of spiritual evolution.
If anyone can venture to say what I have here, it's much appreciated!

Habitat:
Hardwood (Elm, birch, etc.) stand with relatively sparse vegetation

Gills:
Brown, forked

Stem:
2 to 4cm Length, .5 to 1cm diameter, upper stem is whitish, lower part is brown and scaley color, upper is smooth texture and lower is rough (scaley) texture, hollow. All 6 mushroom stems are connected at the base (as seen in picture)

Cap:
varying approx. 3 to 5cm diameter, color is brownish orange, smooth texture, smaller ones are convex becoming flat with the larger ones, edges are notched.

Spore print color:
brown/rusty

Bruising:
no noticeable bruising

Other information:
the smell is fragrant mushroomy to apricot-like; taste (of cap) is mildly bitter- typical mushroom taste (agaricus)

Omphalotus has whitish spore prints, and not scaly stems like these.

This looks like a Pholiota sp.

Omphalotus has a white to yellowish spore deposit. The growth habit and habitat suggests something in Pholiota.
