The spore print appears to be darker brown than expected for a species of Gymnopilus, which have rusty brown/orange prints. My guess is these mushrooms represent a species of Pholiota.

Also compare with Trametes lactinea. https://mushroomobserver.org/observations/260767

Some type pf polypore, probably a species of Trametes. Need to see a clear detailed view of the pore surface (underside).

In eastern NA there's also Stropharia hardii, a woodland mushroom that usually has a weak ring on the stalk but may drop off. I have found S. hornemannii in Vermont.

Certainly a species of Hypholoma. The very dark grayish/purplish spore print confirms. I think the ones seen here are either H. capnoides or H. lateritium. The latter usually grows on wood of hardwood trees. But, I think i have seen it a few times on pine logs. Each of the species mentioned is listed as edible, and H. lateritium --commonly called "brick caps-- is fairly popular. Some people enjoy cooking/eating this species, especially when the mushrooms are young/immature. As mentioned, one should become familiar with the "sulphur tuft" species, H. fasciculare and H. subviride. These are said to be toxic, not lethal but causing possibly severe symptoms. All four of the species mentioned have the same color spore prints, and microscopic features are similar. Because of its yellowish cap color, H. capnoides is likely more easily confused with the sulphur tufts. The latter have green gills when young, but the color darkens as the spores mature. Gymnopilus penetrans (very similar to G. sapineus, and also a few other of the small/medium-sized Gymns) has a rusty-orange or rusty-brown spore print. This is quite similar to the Galerina marginata print, and I have seen examples where arriving at a Gymnopilus/Galerina ID is somewhat tricky, especially after G. marginata dries out and the cap color fades. Species of Pholiota --especially the ones that lack large scales on the caps, eg. P. spumosa-- are also easily confused with Gymnopilus. Species of Stropharia have spore prints with color very similar to those of Hypholoma. The same may be said of most Psathyrella species.

A few of the Hygrophorus species that have weird/unpleasant odors should probably be avoided as candidates for edibility.

The bundles of needles on the ground look like white pine; I think I see 5 needles in a bundle. H. flavodiscus is exclusively a white pine associate. Light brown stalk is unusual for H. flavodiscus, but these may be old slightly discolored mushrooms.

H. eburneus is usually very sticky/slimy, although the viscous Hygrophorus species often lose this trait when they dry in situ. H. chrysodon has flaky scales on the upper stipe surface. This species is fairly common here in PA (where I live). I can't find much info on H. hedrychii. One internet source says it's rare. I think this may be primarily a European species. Compare with Hygrophorus piceae and Cuphophyllus angustifolia.

That's really interesting. I would have also suggested H. coralloides.

Not Auricularia (ie. not Wood Ear). I don't think Exidia glandulosa. That species does not form leafy projections. It's basically flattened black globs with tiny pimples. Possibly Exidia crenata (E. recisa in older NA sources). I think Phaeotremella looks like a good possibility. Two species. https://www.mycoquebec.org/bas.php?trie=P&l=l&nom=Phaeotremella foliacea / Trémelle foliacée&tag=Phaeotremella foliacea&gro=187 https://www.mycoquebec.org/bas.php?trie=P&l=l&nom=Phaeotremella frondosa / Trémelle des feuillus&tag=Phaeotremella frondosa&gro=187

I don't think these are Fomitopsis betulina (aka. Birch Polypore). The margins are very thin and there's no sterile margin overhanging the pore surface. Maybe Tyromyces chioneus (White Cheese Polypore).

Probably a species of Hygrophorus. They look to be on the large side for Cuphophyllus, which have a somewhat similar appearance. Several Hygrophorus species are commonly found under pine during late fall.

This does resemble P. flaccida. But, Thuja reports the cap/stem are slimy. That doesn't seem to fit this species. Also, the gills look kinda thick, waxy, and fairly well separated.

Yup, "peach colored" fits in with P. nidulans prints that I have taken.

Not a "Gilled Bolete" (ie. not Phylloporus); not Hygrophoropsis. Looks like a species of Hygrophorus.

Probably Pleurotus, but old and looks like it froze/thawed at least once.

Phyllotopsis nidulans, aka. "Orange Mock Oyster." https://www.mushroomexpert.com/phyllotopsis_nidulans.html

Looks like a species of Armillaria (Honey Mushrooms). Suggesting the exact species is tricky... maybe A. gallica? Seeing some young ones with the partial veil intact sometimes helps.

Probably hemlock. Looks like Ganoderma tsugae. When was this photo taken? Sometimes G. tsugae may fruit during unusual times. But, this looks like what I'm used to seeing during the latter part of June.

No. Assuming it's Laetiporus, it'd be far too old to be palatable. Possibly indigestible. Polypores are often said to be nontoxic. There is one important exception, genus Hapalopilus. H. nidulans (aka. H. rutilans) is dangerously toxic. The similar --but much less common-- H. croceus possibly contains similar toxins. So, is the pictured polypore H. croceus? I don't think so because H. croceus is said to occur on coniferous wood, but I cannot make this claim with ultimate confidence. https://www.mushroomexpert.com/hapalopilus_croceus.html Old fungi can be tricky to ID.

Could be Laetiporus, but if so then very much past prime. Type of tree?

I agree, Hygrophorus. I haven't seen the species name penarioides applied here in NA. One NA species of large white waxcap is Hygrophorus sordidus. There are a few other similar species.

The only Cortinarius species I know that have a membranous partial veil are C. caperatus and C. torvus; this likely is not either of those. I agree with the Agrocybe proposal.

The sheathing of the lower half of the stalk seems a bit unusual for the campestris types (there's probably several very similar species). I see a couple of photos on Mycoquebec that look like this. I think it's probably just because the partial veil clung to the bottom of the stalk. Agaricus campestris types have a pleasant mushroomy odor. A phenol/chemical/inky odor suggests one of the toxic species of Agaricus. The mushroom in the photograph does not look like any of the toxic ones.

Habitat? Wood, soil, or forest debris? Sorry, I meant to delete this post (which is a duplication of the one I accidentally deleted instead). Ricky, it would be helpful if you could add the other photo of this mushroom. There was a ID proposal that seemed reasonable (provided the other photo is seen).
