Did you take a spore print? Take one on tin foil, one on white paper, set the white balance on your camera and then post the pics.

Super helpful! Thank you! I have been wondering how to do the spore printing. I will post photos after. How long do I need to let the cap sit on foil/paper for a good print?

To guarantee a decent print? I'd leave them for a good few hours. I think 6 should be enough, though others may disagree. I've read people that say put a glass over the caps, but I'm not sure it's entirely necessary. The basics is this - remove the stem to the point that it's above the gills, then put face down.

It kinda looks like the spores are brown on the annulus/ring around the stipe/stem imo.
Like elprawn was saying the color balance on your camera is pretty important and the back ground. I like doing spore prints actually on glass, so I can change the colors of the background as well as hold it up to the light and what not. I work with glass alot and have excess glass everywhere though.
You can take two small pieces cut to the size of the caps and save prints for a long time by taping the two pieces together as well, to compare with other finds that may look similar. Glass cutters are pretty cheap and easy to use.

I put a glass over smaller mushroom caps when printing because it helps them stay moist & moisture is the key to the mechanism used by mushrooms to eject spores, larger caps stay moist without a cover, usually. I usually print for 12-24 hours.
