    Please help me identify this mushroom. They smell great, nutty. Individual stems seem to grow out of a common base. Two photos attached: the group of mushrooms and one plucked with gills showing. Thank you!

    Collybia...

    I ran the spore test on this. It's white. I also noticed this morning that the gills are full of tiny larva the exact same peachy-orange color as the mushroom.
