Backyard Mushrooms

[mSum]

I have several of these on my property this year. All are growing near old tree stumps. I'm in Utah at an elevation of 4,300 ft.

For higher confidence, need to know the way the gills meet --or fail to meet-- the stalk. Spore print looks to be pink. So my guess is this mushroom represents a species of Pluteus, possibly P. petasatus. Also, when collecting a mushroom for ID discussion, it's best to try to extract the entire stalk, even if part if underground (although in this case the stalk base would likely mot be very interesting).
