Virginia Find that I Can’t Identify

I found thee guys growing out of a moss bank in my back yard last week after a five-day rain. I live in Virginia, and I’d say the rain has kept things relatively cool and extremely saturated for late June. They fruited en masse after 5 days rain, one dry day, and then another day of rain.
The gills are orange-brown, almost cinnamon colored, basically the same color as the cap. It doesn’t look like the gills are attached.
The stem is 3-4 inches, seems hollow it like sawdust inside, the stems are tough and they don’t break or break away from the caps easily. Stems have a flecking or ticking pattern of lighter on darker tan.
The caps range from 1/2 inch to about 2 inches plus, they appear an orangey brown color with a brown center and a brown ring around the top of the cap edge. The caps have a little point on them, and some bigger ones seem to open flat to inverted and then split.
Spore print color is dark. Looks like a dark brown color even though the gills are a light color and you can’t really see any dark in the gills.
The stems and caps don’t bruise any color at all or leak any fluid when damaged, when they dry out, the caps turn a uniform dark brown with all banding and color variations gone. Dry caps look darker than dry stems, and dry stems resemble darker or mottled versions of dry magic mushroom stems.
As far as smell, they just smell like a combination of dirt and store bought mushrooms. I’ll include pictures.

They are a species of Cortinarius. These look fairly similar to maybe the most toxic mushroom known, Cortinarius rubellus, although I don't think it is that species. It could be something in the subspecies Telamonia. In any case, don't eat!

They are very pretty though. The pointed ones look just like Orange cubes

Thank you so much!
I thought they might be immature galerinas, but they weren’t growing out of wood, they were growing out of moss in dirt.
I should also mention that I found one single Amanita fruiting body, All in stark white, in among them.
