Looks like Pholiota squarrosa or Pholiota squarrosoides.

From mushroomexpert: "Theoretically, Pholiota squarrosoides can be separated from the very similar Pholiota squarrosa without the use of a microscope, since its gills go from whitish to rusty brown without passing through a greenish stage, and its cap is often slightly sticky underneath the scales (as opposed to the always-dry cap of Pholiota squarrosa). Additionally, Pholiota squarrosoides never develops the garlicky odor that some collections of Pholiota squarrosa develop."

Another possibility is Pholiota aurivella. The caps look to be sticky, which is a trait of this species. P. aurivella often occurs on wounds in living trees. Here in PA I usually find it on maple.

But the stalks on the ones seen here are quite shaggy, and the ring quite large, for P. aurivella. Almost certainly a species of Pholiota, though.
