Hello, I usually hunt edibles and don't pay too much attention to mushrooms I don't recognize but these caught my eye today and I can't seem to find them in either of my guidebooks.  Does anyone here recognize these?  Thanks.

Looks like Clitocybe nuda aka blewit.

Appreciate the input but I have purple blewits in my yard and these seem to be something different.  The stem is not stout and crisp like a blewit, rather thin and weak ...the type of stem that goes limp 5 min after it's picked.  Plus the caps are not as substantial as blewits, the fresh moist ones are almost translucent until they dry out.

ok, searching off your suggestion I found Lepista sordida "Sordid Blewit" which is a closer fit so you might have been on the right track after all :thumbup:

the only snafu is that from what I'm reading, L. sordida is a lawn mushroom and not associated with wood so might not be it.
