Mushroom question

I believe I see remnants of partial veils on the stalks (white/cottony deposits on the stalks). The largest one appears to show part of a ring on the upper stalk. I think these may be Armillaria gallica. To gain confidence, knowing the spore print color would be useful. Although, both Armillaria and Marasmiellus/Gymnopus luxurians have white prints. (I'm guessing by "luxury caps" you mean M./G. luxurians...?) These don't look like M./G. luxurians to me. The small scales on the caps point away from this species.

If you have a magnifying glass, then you may want to examine the little scales on the caps. If they are actually bundles of tiny hairs stuck together, then this would be support a proposal of Armillaria.

Good eye on the veil remnants Dave...totally missed them.
