I found these in a mulch pile under a cedar tree on a rainy day in the panhandle of Florida. I am still working on a spore print color but they have dark brown centers, with brown sprinkles down the cap. The gills are solid white and the stems are white inside but have a orange/red/brownish stain on the outside. They do not have a distinctive smell, like oil or almonds. They do not seam to really bruise a color either. The stems have little rings around them. These mushrooms grow many together from one base. I know these pictures are the greatest and I apologize.

Are you sure they don't stain/bruise brick red??
At first I thought Leococoprinus, but in the last photo I notice the size in relation to the piece of paper. They look like really big L. cepaestipes:

Due to their size, I'm thinking maybe some kind of Leucoagaricus, maybe L. americanus:

Though, they look a lot closer to L. cepaestipes... I don't know if they can get that large.

They do look alot like those Leucoagaricus americanus. Looks like I can get the stems to bruise a little dark red in spots, but only on the outer skin of the stem. Also got a orange bruise on the stem. They grew pretty quick they were not there yesterday.

I was referring to the rarity, not the activity. I always print anything unusual.

Ok, I am making a print, but still clueless to what they are. I borrowed a book from a friend and gonna see if I can figure it out. They definitly bruise red adn when they dry they have a dark red color on the stem.

Definitely a Lepiota or Leucoagaricus species.
Inactive for sure. Possibly an edible species but its not recommended for beginners since there are many deadly species with the same color spore print.
