These things are all over the place. Dark red/brown stems, very sturdy. They are growing out of layers of pine needles, infact, the mycelium on just about each shroom I pulled was bound to the pine needles.
And I just want to confirm that these are cubes. I know the big one is definetely a cube, but the others seem to be a little different, but they did bruise blue.

I've already dried the suspected cubes... or 'drying'.. not quite crisp enough for the vacuum sealer yet.

Did you spore print the suspected cubes to confirm a purple/brown print??

Yes, spore print is the same as the known cube, they just look so different than that big one, thats why it raised concern.
any ideas about the other shrooms in the first pic?

What is different? The colour of the caps?? That could easily be due to loss of moisture as the mushrooms mature, making the large ones look paler.

Yes, that was the main difference I noticed, they are really deep golden brown. All of the cubes that I have found recently were either the color of the big one in the pic, or a yellow-goldish color. Never seen em so dark and bold before.

Got any more photos of the cubes in question? Preferrably with gills showing.

I did take a few other photos, but they are from just about the same angle. Cant really see the gill structure, although I can confirm that the gill structure was the same as the confirmed cubensis.
They are still drying, I could take a couple more pictures, you can still see the gills pretty good.

the first picture isn't active and doesn't look too edible either.. IDK what they are. The second one would make me a happy man.

Here you can see the gills, the big one on top is the confirmed cube, the two lower ones are the shrooms in question. See how golden brown the cap is?

First one is probably Collybia. I wouldn't even really comment on those other ones, looks like they are rotting (because of the soggy-like appearance) or just in really bad shape. I wouldn't mess with them. Were they like that when you picked them?

Yea, they were in a small group on cow shit. It has been raining constantly, I picked them while it was pouring down. The field was really wet also. What happens if they were rotten? They aint gonna work? Or possibility of making consumer sick? The above picture, of the gills is after 12+ hours of drying.
