Help to id please: bought in Bali, Indonesia

Hello everyone. Probably my mushrooms are very easy to id, but I'm a newbie so need an advice from someone more experienced. Just bought two packs of these mushies from a local shop. Had experience with some similar ones here before, took 1.5 pack and had an ego lost, now plan to take same amount. What would you say?

 Habitat: Indonesia, not sure whereabouts they pick it
Gills: Dark, almost black
Stem: Aboout 4-6 cm, thin and dark
Cap: Small, around 0,5-1,5 cm, grey, more spherical than conical.
I'd be grateful for any tips. Thanks in advance

They remind me of a Copelandia species. Also REOMVOE THEM FROM THE BAG IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THEY SWEAT TO THE POINT OF ROTTING!!!!
Whoever sold you those does not know about transiting mushrooms. Picking/identifying them, maybe, but packing them, no ....

Cool little mushies though.

can you lay them all out and take another picture? I see several with charictoristics of Pan. cyanescens, but I think I see some that are not. Also don't think they are just because I said so, I'm not an expert

Oh. How do I store them then? I want to consume them on Thursday which is another 4 days. I've read that you better keep them with no air, is it a myth?
Thank you for the reply

This makes sense. Now they are not dry at all. How long will they handle being out here undried? Shall I keep them in the fridge this time? Cuz right now I have nothing to dry them out with, for another 10 hours. Oh.

whats wrong with sunshine? ive never had a problem with it. i wouldnt put them in the fridge unless they were fresh fresh and you had proper containers. IMO theres too much condensation in the fridge. but i personally lay them all out on newspaper or cardboard flats and have fans going on them and that works. food dehydrators are amazing.

put them in a paper bag in the fridge. they'll last four days. They're more potent fresh...if they're active. That picture doesn't tell me much at all.

pan cyans are known for the pinkish/reddish tones in the stem. I'm pretty sure I see some white stems in there, and those are possibley not pan cyans

Take them out of the bag, spread them out on a newspaper/paper towel in a cool dry area, if possible use a fan but if you don't have one thats fine. And don't put them in the fridge, they don't lose much potency when there dried. I hope you have a good time with them but be careful because Panaeolus cyanescens are very potent, dose accordingly.

I just want to emphasize that no one has confirmed these are pan cyans yet, so post better pictures/descriptions before you eat them.

it's four days, not four weeks. What's the point of drying them? Mushrooms taste better fresh and they absolutely lose SOME of their potency when they're dried, especially if done quickly or in the sun.

davide is right, just stick them in the fridge if you plan to use them soon. They might be partially dried out by time you do use them, but they'll still be good.
