hi I'm new to hunting and also mushrooms. i haven't tried them but it does interest me. i really like the idea of being outdoors walking around trying to spot mushrooms and it would be even cooler to be able to know what certain types were. i went hunting today sense it rained last night and it was fairly warm out mid 70's, at first i couldn't find anything but then i started finding little mushrooms with a hard dark stem and a white cap with white gills, i do have pictures. after i spotted those i tried to keep track of where they were growing and it was near really rotting wood which makes sense because hey they're mushrooms. they were also growing on wood chips or bark pieces. then i found two bigger ones that were growing on the actual log that was rotting and it is a different kind i believe. the cap was turned up slightly and the stem was about the same color as the cap, they're also in the picture ill post. then i moved to a dryer part of the woods and found these little short mushrooms that had a brown or orange almost red cap and the cap looked kinda like a ball. they were growing near dead wood but out of the ground and not off chips or bark. and then i found a really big one that sort of looks to be the same kind but I'm not sure. in the picture there is just a cap that I'm not sure about the location of where i got it so i should probably throw it out along with the little one with the kind of reddish stem. i know I'm probably doing a horrible job at explaining but all have gills all the gills are white. i checked for blue bruising but none have yet I'm not sure how or when to do a spore print so that i don't know either. even if these aren't active id still like to get some possible id's sense I'm not just in this for the intoxication purposes i really enjoy looking for these guys. i live in northern-central new york, and I'm not sure what other help i can give I've probably missed some stuff so please bare with me as i am new. ill post two pictures of the mushrooms that i collected and i have more of them as i picked them if needed. thank you.

Welcome to the Shroomery, bobjones123,
Please read the two stickies that are locked at the top of the forum. This will help you ask better questions and you will be more likely to get an ID.
To make a spore print cut the stem off of the cap where they meet. Lay the cap gill side down on a sheet of white paper, then cover the cap with a cup or bowl.
It can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day to get a good spore print.
thanks,
falcon
