Sorry but you will need some more pictures for an accurate ID. Get pics of the cap, stem, and gills in some good lighting.

You have found an Inocybe species.
70% of Inocybes are poisonous, containing the toxin muscarine.

After viewing your other pics I am going to change my guess to Pholiota. Still might be Inocybe though. If you wet your finger and rub the cap, is it slimy? That is a good test for Pholiota, as Inocybes have dry caps.
Was it growing from the ground or directly from (perhaps buried) wood?
Any odor? Are there any radial fibers on the cap surface, or is it completely smooth?

i'm pretty sure that it was growing from the ground, just close to trees, and the cap right now is pretty smooth and slippery
this was picked in Iceland
yeah it definetaly has a slimy feel when i rub the cap, it smells like a mushroom, cant describe it better. Maybe it's edible?

Pretty sure it is a Pholiota. I do not know of any Pholiota poisonings, however they are rarely eaten. You should find something that is a bit safer and easier to ID to make dinner with. Pholiota ID can be hard, microscopy is often required to put a species name on a collection.

Hygrocybe conica or close species, and a Leccinum.
