Looks like Chlorophyllum molybdites or a Lepiota species.

Not active.

Are you trying to spore print dry mushrooms?

I read sometimes thats was possible if you sprayed the gills with a bit of water. Is that true?

yes, just a couple drops on top of the cap before covering may produce some spores, if it's not too dry already, just give it a try.

And yes looks like some type of Lepiota.

**oops, i thought you were the OP
