Before they dry out, you should spore print all the different strains.
I would really like to see their spore prints.
Maybe an up-close of their gills, that is, if they are still semi-wet.

I have other pictures to post - but I'm having some technical difficulties and I'm a bit lazy at the moment. I think they might belong to the genus Armillaria, perhaps species gallica. -- Armillara gallica.But its difficult to figure out.

And if you want to, cut some in half and look at their insides, that's always fun.
It looks like they could be Armillaria gallica, but I think your right about it being in armillaria genus.

Here is a picture that shows only a small, relatively open area of where some of them came from.

Many others were in more wooded & shady areas, growing from old & rotting wood.

Here is another picture of some mushrooms that I didn't pick. I thought that I was going to pick them on the way back to the area - but that didn't happen. These are different than the other ones I did pick.

They look a lot like death caps to me.

Amanita phalloides

"Cubes" is short/slang for psilocybe cubensis mushrooms. Not the most potent, but probably the most commonly cultivated hallucinogenic mushroom because of the ease of growing them. If you've ever eaten shrooms, chances are they were cubes.

That's a lot of good info. Sure hope they're not death caps. Death by kidney failure doesn't sound fun. The mushrooms don't have a foul smell - they smell like mushrooms.
 
But then after that I was like, oh shit. What am I supposed to do with 2 pounds of shrooms and there's still 10 acres more to collect from? That turned out to be the best problem I ever had.
sounds like u struck gold .. i be paying 200 for ounces of shrooms .. banging ones too i actually got a quarter in my safe im saving for this winter to go snowboarding on them lol hopefully i make it home to tell the story .. btw if u come across ten acres ever again be sure to tell me please . ill fly out where ever to go shroom picking

just an after thought look between the gills on the bottem of the caps your looking for the spores there realy small but seeable with the naked eye if there black no good if there white you should be safe
This particular bit of "advice" will KILL YOU. Jesus, why is it that so many believe that anything that looks like a mushroom is psychoactive? Cubensis doesn't grow on wood, cyanensis does not grow on living wood - if you pick a mushroom from a living tree it is not what you are looking for.

I doubt it - amanita have egg shaped bases from where they actually "sprout".

To theOP - if you want to know what is going on mycologicaly speaking you carry severl differet containers and place the ones that seem alike together - you keep notes, where they grew, - were they in clusters or singular, what did they grow from - observe. And join a mycological society and learn from those who know your area - it is very difficult to ID a mushroom from a single or even a couple of pictures. One of your items look like chanterells - if they are, you are in luck, remember where you got them and don't tell anyone.
