Possible Gymnopolus Spectabilus?

Migrated topic.

I believe I had found some of the above mentioned mushrooms. They resemble everything that I have researched about Laughing Gymns, except I have yet to get a spore print. Just freshly picked one to try to get an ID before I go picking the whole batch.

I should add, these were found in Northern Illinois, growing out of the dirt surrounded by scattered tree branches and bark from the trees around them. I believe they were hard wood.

The color of the pictures is not completely right, they look more rusty orange then the picture, but the flash messed with that slightly.

They have a hallow stem, and no blue bruising has been noted yet. Awaiting a spore print from the one that I collected.
