Thanks so much for all your help! That looks like it for sure! You are welcome to suggest ID's on my unknown spottings, too if you'd like!

This little friend is called the Deciever. There are several species of this genus, which all have gills that stand (more or less) wide apart. Based on my encounters with these mushrooms, I think Laccaria laccata.
