Caps are .5 inches to 1.5inches with equal stems 1 inch to 2 inches long. Color ranges from dirty-cream to bluntwrap-brown. Gills are darker colors, like singed-bluntpaper. Sporeprint is spherical and black. These were found in mid-Georgia growing on rotting leaves and pine needles under pine, Tulip, live oak mix. They were growing singles, spaced out pretty far. They have mushroomy smell.
Also there were tiny worms crawling between the gills. I was wondering if this is a logical indication these are not toxic? Or can the worms thrive in toxic strains as well?
I am new to this, but... From the sporeprint mostly, I am thinking Panaeolus or Anellaria. I am also figuring non-active as they don't bruise blue.
Here are two that were kinda close pictured as found.

Here they are after picking, so you can see gills/details.

No, I have seen fungus-gnat larva in many poisonous mushrooms as well as in edible and psychoactive ones.

On the left mushroom in the top picture I see spore deposits that look purple. It could be just black spores blending with the cap color making it look purple, but I see purple.
If the spores are purple/black, then I would say Psathyrella, though they do not especially resemble any Psathyrellas that I have encountered.
Panaeolus is also a possibility, but the broad flat caps don't make me think Panaeolus. Other possibilities include Agaricus, Stropharia, and Hypholoma.
Did any of them have an annulus ring on the stem (check young specimens), and are the gills attached to the stem? Or is there a free-gill ring where the stem attaches to the underside of the cap?

The gills are attached to stem. I am pretty sure any purple you were seeing is a photo trick. They made a light spore print in which I would have been able to see any coloring easy, strait up black. Left em on paper over night and the largest cap there on the right made a real dark print.... Just took the sheet outside for natural lighting, I suppose where I got some smear on this print it looks like it could be greyish-slightlypurple.
Edit: oh yeah, missed an answer. No ring on stem.
