I zoomed right in on that shot and it could be a Psilocybe subaeruginosa, it could also be any number of other mushrooms.
Have you got more pics and can you post them in a reasonable size?

Looks good to me, but yeah the lighting in the picture is really distorted. A clearer picture will make it easier to give you a very confident identification

I think it's a sub. Looks like there's blue bruising on the bottom half of the stem.

In my search I came across a few isolated specimens that are the exact same as the one in you photo. They never grew in patches, just the casual one or two. Their stems also never bruise blue, which got me worried. I just searched longer untill I found a massive patch of 40-50 certain active subs
Does this sound similar?

Always remember Psilocybe and Galerina can grow literally right next to each other. Just because one bruises strongly blue and one "maybe" lightly bruises dosen't mean anything!
-------------------- Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute or an hour or a day or even a year but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it will last forever.

Usually have an annulus around the stem where the veil has separated from the cap and usually growing directly from wood.
Check out the pics on google images to familiarize yourself.

Appearance of subs varies greatly, don't just base your finds according to how the caps look.

Do galerina bruise, and that description of an "annulus" is a bit technical for me :S

Annulus means a sort of ring around the stem to where the cap was once connected.
Galerinas don't bruise blue.
They have a rusty brown spore print I believe, while subs have a dark purple spore print.

Most important and definite factor is spore colour. Always check that if unsure.

Well, the bruising has come up and is quite blue. Is galerina fatal after like 1/2?
