Those look like pine mushrooms, although there should be a conspicuous ring on the stem; but do they have the aroma? That's the easiest way to distinguish pines from look-alikes. If they don't have a strong, hard to describe but not mushroomy odor, then they are not Tricoloma magnivelare. Also, the stalk should be almost as hard as wood.
I have the same question as Vitog: What was the smell like? They do look like Tricholoma magnivelare, but not sure. Also, with thanks to and the indulgence of Cchardonenns, since this thread is likely to get a large audience (due to subject and that fact that this is a particularly Awesome Mushroom Season - Yay!!!!) I'm going to take advantage of the opportunity to mention to (or remind) everyone: - if you are picking a mushroom for identification, you need to collect the whole mushroom including the base, not cut the stem. There are important features at the stem base that are necessary sometimes for a positive ID. - Also if you are not sure what a mushroom is, remove as few as possible: A mushrooms is a reproductive structure of a fungus; they need to have some of their mushrooms out there sporulating in intact habitat to ensure the continuity of the species. Thanks! :-) frog
We would need to see the base of the stalk to eliminate the possibility that you have Amanita smithiana, occasionally mistaken for pine mushrooms with sometimes fatal results. The aroma is diagnostic, but only if you've experienced it previously. If you can find some pine mushrooms for sale, give them a sniff; and you will know right away if you have the same species.
