Foil would just be easier to keep the print on if you want to do work with it.. you can just fold the edges into a nice square, covered, print.
Transparent plastic is fine for getting spore color, just don't use a sheet of white paper because these may have a white print.

Here are some spore pictures magnified 400x. This is the best quality i could reach without using an electron microscope

Those are cool pictures, it looks like you use a phase contrast or darkfield microscope.
I am not completely sure what I am looking at....Is that gill tissue?
Maybe some of those things are subglobose spores....
Can you make a spore print and take a pic of that? Also check for cystidia on the gill edges.

Yes, i used darkfield filter.
First i tried to take picture of scraped spores (from foil), but they are so small, that i got best result while shooting a whole spore print under the microscope. So i think those are a clusters. One post upon i posted a spore print

The spores are a good match for Lyophyllum and you probably have Lyophyllum decastes.
If you look at the edge of a gill there should be no cystidia, just a lot of basidia/basidioles.

Thank you Alan, i'll try to make photo of the gill edge to be sure that there is no cystidia. I forgot to mention that some colonies which were growing on pieces of rotten wood made a fruit bodies. And those which were growing on concrete wall didin't. Is it normal for this specie to grow on dead wood?

Ok, i took pictures of cystidias(?) (had no luck with painting them). But it appears that there is two different species and both of them does not need any organic material for growing.
1 specimen (Unfortunately, this one did not gave any spore prints)
2 specimen Lyophyllum decastes (?) (det. A.Rockefeller)
Fully matured fruits:
3 specimen Myxomycota sp.(?)
Maybe it's possible to get more exact ID?
