Chaenorrhinum, attached was my spotting and I was told that this was a Fly Agaric. The small ones in this picture look so much like the one I posted...

No need to apologize, though - good to rule things out as well as in!
If they're growing that close together, they are likely all fruiting off of the same mycelium. It would be very unusual to see a mixed colony of fungi that close together.
Sorry about that (I did not see the second picture).
How about little rounded ones at the bottem?
I actually posted flat ones as "unnown" too.
It is not a fly agaric. The universal veil is not attached to the stalk in the right place and the scales on the cap are flat, not raised and warty.
