ID Request: Looks like a honey mushroom but definitely not…

[HGMush]

Hello! I spotted a few clusters of mushrooms growing at the base of an oak tree in Massachusetts in September-now (early October) that at first blush look a lot like honey mushrooms. BUT the spore print is pinkish/rusty brown and the gills are yellow-ish. Any thoughts on ID?

Looks like pholiota to me.

are you sure the mushroom in the second picture is one of those in the first?

I think these are a species of Gymnopilus. The growth pattern and spore print color --rusty orangish-- point in this direction. Genus Pholiota also makes sense.

the fisrt picture is Armillaria mellea, almost for sure. The print spore is of another mushroom, in my opinion

My thoughts exactly Michele- doesn’t appear to be so… perhaps the mushroom printed was picked near the clump of pictured honeys and assumed to be the same species?  The clumped mushrooms are young while the printed mushroom is dehydrated pretty good.
