Second attempt, possible Cyans!

Habitat: These were found in a woodland local to me, just on the edges of the forest amongst amber leaves on a field. Numerous other varieties of mushrooms were in the area with them.
Gills: The gills are pretty much the same pink/peach colour as the rest of the mushroom and they have a sort of irregular fingerprint pattern to them. Theyre quite deep running.
Stem: Is fairly thick on some of them and not too long with reference to the size of the cup on top. It doesn't appear to be hollow, if it is, the tube is extremely small.
Cap: Mostly flat and one some starting to become quite 'crinkled up' or shriveled. Some of the smaller ones are more traditional mushroom shape. They are quite wide and have a fair surface area.
Spore print color: I'm not sure if I am doing the spore print correctly but it doesnt appear to leave much residue on the paper when pressed, if anything it is the same colour as the rest of the mushroom. Maybe someone can advise on how to correctly take the spore?
Bruising: Since picking, parts of the mushroom are turning a slight dry white colour while other parts are looking darker - how I'd imagine it to look if it became wet.
Other information: I'm not sure if it is a placebo or because I have been handling a lot of oranges but they appear to smell ever so slighty zesty.
The colouring in the photos provided is not hugely accurate, they are very peachy/pink in colour.
I hunted for these after being advised that the place I was looking for Libs was somewhere that cyans would grow!

Not cyans, keep trying. To take a spore print set a nice cap on foil (or paper) and then cover with another sheet. Give it a couple hours before you check. Good luck!

Thanks a lot for replying! Would you say I am looking in the correct areas or am I completely off track?

I dont know what kind of area youre looking in but what you're actually looking for is wood chips. Not bark mulch, woodchips. Anywhere there's woodchips there's a possibility of finding them. Parks are great, another great place are is wetland restoration areas. Good luck!

Look in urban wood chip beds, not in the forest.
