I think they are young specimens of Limacella illinita
Thanks Gina9210, but it can not be slippery jack, since it is a boletus, ratera a Suillus, and it should not present the white gills you can see in the seco nd photo
slippery jack?
they were slimy, but some mushrooms get slimy when the ambient is humid.
Are they wet? Or are they just slimy?
