A lot of what I believe to be Pluteus cervinus growing in Tennessee hardwood forests right now. Think my ID is correct?

The larger mushrooms have a very distinct radish smell, the smaller and darker do not poses that smell quite yet though smell “earthy.” Spore prints pending. All found on highly decaying hardwood within 10 yards of eachother.

Assuming these all represent the same type of mushroom, they are Pluteus cervinus. This name actually applies to a group of closely related species. The key traits are: growth on wood (occasionally from buried wood or woody debris) and gills that terminate short of the stalk. This latter trait is generally referred to as "free gills", as the gills are free of the stalk. Spore print for all Pluteus species is deep tannish-pink, which is another useful trait. The mushrooms pictured here with inverted caps show free gills. 

There are other types of mushrooms that have free gills.... for example species of Amanita, Lepiota, Macrolepiota, Leucoagaricus, Volvariella, Chlorophyllum.  Of these, only Volvariella has pink spore print and only Volvariella grows on wood. 

Entoloma mushrooms have pink spore prints. The gills of some Entoloma mushrooms have sinuate attachment, meaning the gills taper down to a very thin width at the point of attachment to the stalk. Sinuate gill attachment can appear to be free if not examined very closely. Many species of Entoloma are considered to be toxic. One sure way to distinguish Entoloma from Pluteus is by examining the spores with a microscope (400x magnification). Pluteus spores are round to elliptical in profile and smooth; Entoloma spores are angular in profile. 

Mushrooms representing species of genus Hebeloma often have a distinctly radish odor. Hebeloma mushrooms are toxic. They have light brown spore prints; do not grow on wood.

Great information, thank you for taking the time. This is my first time encountering and attempting to ID this mushroom, so it’s very helpful to know what else is out there and similar. The field guide doesn’t cover everything!
