Can anyone can tell me what they are please?



Habitat: Far South Nova Scotia, Canada. Found on grass, on little hills near trees.
Stem: The stem is like a small twig bends easy, thin
Cap: The cap falls off easily.
Thats all I have for now, I'll try to get more information up as soon as I can but I hope this is enough for someone to indentify it.

Not active, not a popular edible, could be poisonous, but probably not dangerously so.

It's one of those notorious "random little mushrooms". They are nothing to write home about. Nobody would bother cooking it.

Yes, there's no reason why you'd want to eat these.

Alright, thanks everyone.
On a different note, are there any magic mushrooms that are orange cause I have a few orange ones around and was wondering if I should make another ID request.

Just make the request. Chances are pretty much close to 0% on you having anything active, however.

Yes, active gyms are orange (although mostly a bit brownish), and the center of a cube cap can be perceived as somewhat orange. The really bright orange species such as some hygrocybes and omphalinas are not active though. So chances are slim. But put some pics and descriptions on and we'll see what you got!

But there are no Psilocybe cubensis in Nova Scotia.  I also think he's looking in pastures from the past habitat description. He might want to wait until lib season takes off.

That far up north, conditions may be favorable even a few weeks earlier than that. But mi-sept. should be jackpot time
