What substrate was the mushroom growing from? Growing singly or in clusters? What color would you call the spore print? Looks like it may be Gymnopilus but the spore print color looks funny...Too greenish and not rusty enough for Gyms.

here's the big overview of the patch i found
close-up All of these appear to be growing alone and seperated from the others, but a week or so back, i found a few growing under another mushroom. I cant really put a color on the spores though, but i'd say they're a bit dark-light brownish.

That doesn't sound like a Gym print. I'm stumped at the moment.

Could be Pholiota, is the cap viscid when wet?

I still think it is Pholiota, but also consider Agrocybe. Does not really look like Agrocybe though.
I like to use flash when taking pics of spore prints, seems to bring out the colors well.

I see, but would this one be a psychoactive or poisonous one? If there's even a slight chance of this one being poisonous i'm not gonna eat it.

Not psychoactive, maybe slightly toxic. Probably not, but there's no reason to eat it.
