Can I get a TI to confirm laughing gyms before my friend eats some?

Sorry to post this twice- I posted these a few weeks ago and got one vague response- I am confident enough in my ID skills to eat something which I ID (though having a contamination phobia, I usually just ID for fun), but since someone else (they are experienced in psychs- don't worry) is going to be eating them, I'd like to get a second opinion. They are dried now.
These were all found in a single clump, so there should be no worries of other stuff mixed into the collection. The spore print is rusty. Pins bruise green.
Thank you.

Here's the base of the clump with the caps broken off:

Looks right to me, but wait for a second opinion.

The first two pics in the above article may be misidentified, the stipe looks too thin.

All the pictures were taken of the same connected clump of mushrooms (as stated). The fact that they were clumped and found growing terrestrially (or likely on buried wood remnants) and the lack of the typical g. Luteus odor made me think Junonius- sorry I don't have pictures of the clump as a whole before I dismantled it. Thank you all for the help! I really appreciate it!

What I meant is that the first two pics on the link I posted might be misidentified, not yours.
If they were in a big tight cluster, G. junonius is more likely.
I can't comment on the odor as I haven't seen either species in person.

Your friend should eat them fresh, they lose potency when dried.
50-70grms fresh would be a nice MDMA type high, 100grms and up things tend to get more "trippy" as the cool kids say.
Just chop them into little bits, then toss and wash, no need to make tea/chew.

I have a microscope which is sitting here currently unused.
Anyway, seeing Gymnopilus is what makes me want to get it up and running, I just need to find a few parts for it because I think I misplaced a few parts when I moved.
I read the genus needs some work done on it, and I might try to do just that, would be a fun project.
Amanita, Gymnopilus, and Psilocybe are my favorite genera, not for the reasons many people like them, I just really like how they look.

You sound very much like me- I was having almost exactly that thought: I was considering becoming more well versed in microscopy with the hope that I could do work in gymnopilus. Also my favorite genera are gymnopilus, psilocybe, and stropharia just because they're so beautiful.

My friend very much enjoyed them! Thanks again for the help. I was walking through the woods with him during his experience and we found a couple pounds of gymnopilus luteus 5 minutes into the walk. A good day.
