Deliquescence in second picture indicates this is another species in the genus. Possibly micaceus group? can see some granules on the caps but they are not super clear.

JTran, can you expand on your comment about 'granules'. There are a few more fruiting bodies coming on and I am unable to see anything on the upper surface that I would consider of be granules.

You would be looking for very small white flecks that look like a sandy coating on the cap. You can see an example of it in this sighting: Coprinellus micaceus/truncorum (Ink Cap)
They tend to wash off as the mushroom matures, but if you cannot see any on the emerging specimens then there probably aren't any to begin with.
