California Valley ID check?

(Apologies in advance for ignorance/not providing enough info)
Hey all! Been hunting around bay area/valley lately, not expecting to find much. Thought I'd go for a hunt after fresh rain and stumbled upon this patch today.
 This cluster was found growing out of wood chips under a bush, about 2 feet away from a man-made creek. There are a few redwood needles present in the picture, as there are around 3 redwoods nearby, but those are the only redwoods in the area (very diverse environment) and the ratio of needles to woodchips is very very low. I also found several similar clusters of caramel capped mushrooms in the surrounding area (wish I thought to take more pictures). Some of the clusters were very promising, with snow white stems, very thin spiderweb veils, and 2 instances of pins with stems that were wider than the cap.
Most of what I picked looks pretty old and worn out, so it can be hard to make out characteristics, but I found them nearby white stemmed youngins (I picked a few of these as well if they looked like they were bruising green) and there appears to be green/blue bruising on some of the larger ones (especially specimen 1) so I'm optimistic.
Stems are white on most (as far as I can tell) with some being harder to tell and gills are dark brown on larger/older specimens, light brown on smaller.
 
 
 
 
For now, this is all I can provide. I'll have sporeprints in progress soon and I can take more pictures/provide more info if required. I'll be heading back to this patch in the following days to check in on growth.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to check.

Well I like the sound of that! Spore prints are too faint to photograph right now but many of the fresher ones are definitely depositing purple spores. Will deliver photographs in the morning. I can't wait to hear more opinions!

The Valley is like 350 miles away from the Bay area. You must drive really fast!

I think you're thinking of the wrong valley.

There's only one valley that should be referred to as The Valley.
