Took a nice walk yesterday with the family and brought home a few mushrooms to try and identify. Any help is greatly appreciated.

* Habitat
On the side of a road in a damp valley on the east side of the Santa Cruz mountains. Near Los Gatos. There was some grass and leaf litter the mushroom was growing in.
* Characteristics of the gills
The gills are adnexed and a light yellow or tan color.
* Characteristics of the stem
The stem was 5 or 6 cm long. It was white and very delicate when fresh, I accidentally crushed it when I picked the mushroom. Hollow and fibrous. No more than 5 mm at it's widest, narrowing to approximately 3 mm wide just under the cap.
* Characteristics of the cap (diameter,color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc)
The cap was domed and 3 cm across. It was slick and wet on top and turned slightly tacky to the touch as it dried. The color was a creamy tan in the center that changed to golden yellow near the edges where the veins (not sure if that is how to describe it, see photo)
* Spore print color
The spore print is rust color. A deep red/brown. See the photo.
* Color that the mushroom bruises
No bruising.
* Scent of the mushroom
Nothing distinctive in the smell.

Looks like bolbitius, or possibly conocybe. Pretty.

Yep. Bolbitius vitellinus.
