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

I think we can all agree he shouldn't eat it after narrowing it down to those most likely genus and species

Throw them outside in a bush or something as opposed to in the trash bin.
