Default Id on this Mushroom

I got a mushroom piece the size of my thumbnail last February and today I have 4 of these mushrooms the size of a teacup saucer. I have attached some pics but have not been able to find anything like it on the net to ID it. Sorry pics were taken with my phone.

They are sometimes called fuzzy or hairy shrooms....not sure of the exact name.

Looks like Rhodactids aka. "hairy mushroom" to me. They can get real big like a foot across. They have been known to even catch and eat slow moving fish.
