Spring Time Find

I recently got a chance to go to a friends house and look at a large variety of mushrooms that he had growing through out his yard and the surrounding woods. I chose to gather and identify this species because it seems to be the most common. Below I have a log of all information followed by pictures.
Time Found: April 7th 2006 after a few days of rain
Area Found: Spokane, Washington. Under evergreen trees around pine needles and pinecones. Scattered to small groupings of 3 to5. Thick green lawn grass and in thick wet areas. Amount Found: 82.1g wet weight for the one species in question while there were about 22g of other rotted, aborts, and parts.
Cap Color: Brown to Golden Brown Center, Cream White to Grey Edges Cap Shape: Convex becoming Knobbed Cap Texture: Smooth Stem Color: Cream Brown/Reddish to Cream White Cap Size: 10 to 25mm Stem Size: 25 to 50mm Gill Attachment: Attached Adnexed to free Spore Color: White Gill Color: White Gill Placement: Close Overall Shape: Equal to Rooting Stalk: Central Smooth Rings or Veils: None and No trace
Sorry about the quality of the pictures I tried using a HP and Olympus digital cameras and the photos still came out really blurry even though one camera is a 3mp and the other is a 5.5mp. I guess I just have the shakiest hands or the cameras have bad auto focus.






I have come to the conclusion that is either Velvet-Cap Marasmius(Marasmius Plicatulus) or at the same time it could possibly be Early Spring Entoloma(Entoloma Vernum)I know that this print would be Pink to Salmon but mine came out white. Because I have no intentions to ingest these but simply practice identifying I have gone online and gathered some pictures of both suspected species and I now ask you for your help and or opinion. Thank you. Hunt on.

Those look more like Mycenas to me. White spore print is consistent with Mycena.

I'm with shroomydan - my first thought is Mycena.
If they're Marasmius then after you dry them out, if you get them wet they will revive.
Happy mushrooming!

Wow, that sure is a lot of harvested specimens, .
Unfortunately, they are not of edible interest.
