December shroom ID request

Habitat: wooded lawn. Live and dead liriodendron nearby. I think I detected wood at the base of some. A dozen or so specimens in close range. Most singular, one caespitose as shown. As all the shooms had a gritty feel, this may be a sandier area of the property.
Gills: attached. Rusty, crowded.
Stem: thick stout, bulbous
Cap: brown. A little slick when wet but not excessively so, not tacky or sticky at all. Translucent near edge in some specimens. Not overly brittle, but easily snapped appart when manip[ulated.
Spore print: White.
Bruising: None.
Location: Picked in south eastern USA.

I almost forgot. I picked a group of the same from nearby about a week back and captured this image of a pin, showing a veil or cortina?

i wish you coudls have show the cap surface , the pin indeep look like lentinus,
maybe hygrosphorus russula, i see some red stainig in gills and cap maybe but those donpt grow directly from wood. not many lentinus grow from buried wood, more from standing logs. all my best.

I think falcon has it. Those look like unusual Honey Mushrooms.
Happy mushrooming!

I have never seen honey mushrooms look all purple like that.
I agree with your id, looks nothing like honey mushrooms but they are.

Hmmmm. These weren't growing in a big clusterfuck like every picture of Armillaria I have ever seen.
I've seen two fruitings of this a couple weeks apart. The first being 15 ft or so from the first. About a dozen in each fruiting with space between most, a couple growing jointly each time.
This is in my yard in a place where I would have noticed a typical Honey mushroom fruiting.

no way! I found that exact mushroom yesterday growing off of a log next to some mycenas. It's so cold over here, I have no idea how they managed...
I also found some frozen chicken mushroom.
Were they green at the base? with white gills that were pretty far spaced?

They are a lot harder to ID when there is just one or two, but that is not uncommon.

Man I don't know.. I've never seen a Honey Mushroom that looks quite like that.
But uh ToxicMan is rather brilliant when it comes to identifying fungus, so I'll go with whatever he says

These things were dry with thin caps (minus gills). I can't imagine anyone would consider them a good edible. Oh well.
