The mushrooms look like Pluteus. That spore print looks the wrong color, at least on my monitor. For Pluteus it should be a fairly vivid pink color. Did you take the spore print photo indoors under room lighting?
Happy mushrooming!

If the sporeprint is brown it ain't a deer mushroom (pluteus cervinus). Pluteus have pinkish prints. Weird the print came out so brown from gills that white.

yeah, at first i thought i was wrong to print it to white paper, thinking nothing would show up. But when i looked at it, it printed brown. I duno, im still searching around the net trying to figure out wich one this is.

Yep, they do that sometimes. I'm thinking Hebeloma genus. Pretty mushrooms.

oooh I think thats a match
# Pileus
Cap 4-9 cm broad, convex at first with inrolled margin, becoming plano-convex with a broad umbo, margin sometimes upturned in age; surface smooth, viscid when moist, cream to buff shading to a buff-brown disc; flesh thick, white; odor of radish, taste bitter. # Lamellae
Gills close, adnate to adnexed, white becoming pale brown, finely serrate, edges with droplets of liquid when young. # Stipe
Stipe 4-7 cm tall, 0.7-14 cm thick, equal to enlarged at the base, pallid to concolorous with cap, apex pruinose, i.e. covered with fine powdery granules; veil absent; solid; rhizomorphs usually seen at base. # Spores
Spores 9-12 x 6-7 µm, elliptical, slightly roughened. Spore print dull brown. # Habitat
Solitary, gregarious or in arcs and rings. Very common under Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) and conifers (especially Monterey Pine) fruiting from after the fall rains to late winter; sporadic fruitings are sometimes seen during the summer in watered areas.

I am still thinking its a Pluteus. The gills appear to be free in pic # 4 and it looks like a P. cervinus to me.
Was it growing directly from wood or from the ground?
Does it have a radish like smell?
What color is the spore print in the OAC color chart?

Yes, those are without a doubt, Pluteus, likely P. cervinus, as alan and ToxicMan have said.
Weird, that spore print looks carrot orange on my monitor! Heh, but it's still a Pluteus. As alan suggested, Hebeloma have attached gills, these do not.

if the stem is fuzzy it could be a Pluteus Plautus. I find them all over in the summe, usually fruiting from stumps. People consider them edible but hardly worth eating. Lack's and kind of flavor and heartyness. An old woodsman one told me if you got lost in the bush, the Plautus could keep you alive, for the fact that they're usually abundant and fruit throughout the summer.

Another possibility is that the spore print has dried out, although that seems unlikely, as it should have just been made. Lots of spore prints change color as they dry.
I think we're just seeing a photograph taken under yellowish light.
Happy mushrooming!
