Any idea what these are called?

Jaquamo, these are in your territory.

They look like Lactarius deliciosus but hard to tell from the photo. They should stain maroon or green and produce a milky substance when broken. I've eaten very young ones before and they are not worth the effort. I would avoid eating any wild mushrooms with gills until you gain a lot of experience. A good way to gain experience is to attend a foray led by experts with the The Colorado Mycological Society https://cmsweb.org

Good advice.

Hard to tell from the photo. Lactarius deliciosus is more salmon colored and usually has some green tint showing. Also, it's earlier than I've seen them. Like above, if you don't KNOW what it is, don't eat it.

Hard to tell from a photo. I'm finding lots of oysters, some morels, and some Agaricus ravenous (horse mushrooms) right now.
I wouldn't trust that one.
