Habitat: It was growing on green moss that was on the ground and on rocks underneath ceder in a national forest on a slanted hill in USA Missouri.
Gills: The gills looked at first a yellow but as I looked more closely, they were tented green not seeming to be attached to the stem. Then, after I washed the mushroom, I noticed the gills turned solid green BUT THEN after breaking one, it was a dark turqious color deep in the gills. I could not get a spore print 
Stem: The stems are short and about at thin as a pencil. They are green, soft, semi hollow. At the VERY BOTTOM of the stem, on the white root thingy ma' boo boo, it's a deep dark blue color but only on the tip bottom of the stem.
Cap: The caps ranged from small like little LBM's and others where about half the size of a CD. The color was weird, turquois/dark green in the center and as it furthered out, turned into a light green/yellowish color. The texture is soft and the shroomy is very deliqit, they broke easily. It was spherical but if you looked at it straight,it's shaped like a volcano and the ends of the cap go back up slightly. THERE IS A OPEN HOLE IN THE MIDDLE TOP OF THE CAP ON ALL OF THE BIG/GROWN MUSHROOMS, the younger ones had a tiny whole.
Spore print color: could not get a sport print 
Bruising: I could not find any bruising. I do know after I cleaned them, there is a turqious color inside of the cap deep in the gills... really cool looking.
Other information: The mushroom first smelt of something yummy, delicious and vanilla chocolaty but after I bagged them and got them home, let them sit for about 7 hours, they started smelling like CAT PEE!!! like hard core. That was before I cleaned them. I cleaned them and they went back to their normal smell and then I dried them correctly instead of pileing them. I REALLY WISH I HAD A CAMERA WHEN I FOUND THEM. By the time I got them back home, they changed into a brown color, that was about 3 hours later. I washed them (prolly from dirt?) and they turned solid green on the outside and turqious on the insides. I did a small chew n' spit test, 24 hours later, no sickness... I then did a small bite test, 24 hours later, no sickness... Today I ate a quarter of the cap (still kinda fresh/not dried) and within about 10-15 minutes, I felt a head change. My forehead felt a little more heavy to the left and the screen on my laptop started to glare more than usual - Not sure if that was just my contacts or if it's associated. I REALLY REALLY REALLY WISH I HAD PICTURES!!! SORRY GUYS but I have searched google and cannot find any kind of mushroom that fits the discription of the ones I found. I found about 50 of them in a spreaded cluster... If you would have seen it, you would be asking, "Okay tinkerbell and you other fairies and gnomes and things, where are you?!" lol - it was something like you would see in a disney fantasy cartoon or something, really amazing...
ONE LAST NOTE. Some of them, when dried and was not dirty the first round, they cap turned into a golden yellow color - really interesting. Remember, the cap looks like a volcano with the hole in it and everything....

plz do not eat any more unidentified mushrooms.
even though they are dried, post some pics of them in focus and we'll see what you have, and maybe come up with an id
meantime, its really a bad idea to try testing them on yourself.
in this day and age when everything digital comes with a camera, there's really not a good excuse not to come up with at least a pic or two.
since you obviously put some effort into describing what you have, i'll suppress the urge to think you're trolling -for now.

I understand the risks in eating unidentified mushrooms but I am also aware that some of the most professional mushroom hunters have mentioned taste tests and bite tests. I have used this method on only a few mushrooms. Even the Destroying Angel, it takes for some, a half of a cap to kill but even the most deadly, a tiny pen-tip amount, will at worst cause illness. For some reason it's taking forever to upload the photos... So I will go to the store and come back to finish this up..... Never mind, they just uploaded - Here they are

Now, I am going to the store. I will be back.

Next weekend, I am planning on going back to the same spot to see if more had come up. There was a rainstorm the previous night and it was around 10am when I found these guys while I was hunting for squirrel. I left about 3% of them. The rocks they grew around, it's the only place on our property that has a bunch of black rocks There was about 4-6 lbs of them. Again, I really wish I had a camera when I first picked them I think I may have discovered a new mushroom. Normally, I can google what a mushroom looks like and get over hundreds of results... As for this one, a big fat "0"... I am trying to find a mushroom that kinda looks like it so I can show you guys but I can't find nothing like this one anywhere... I contacted Missouri school of Science & Technology crossing my fingers that they will be so kind to help me run a few tests to find out the compounds - If it is a new mushroom, do I get to name it? lol -

haha! Very interesting . I have heard of psychoactive moss variants growing around the world, so it is not a stretch to imagine that this could contain psychoactive compounds since you originally stated they were found on moss/rocks. Would be interested to see how this pans out haha good luck

Tasting a little piece is usually okay, as long as one is sure to spit it out again. I personally only taste a mushroom when trying to identify a species where taste is relevant. I would probably not want to taste a mushroom I suspect to be dangerously toxic, like certain species of Cortinarius and Amanita.
However you should absolutely not swallow a mushroom which identity you're unsure of. There may be species containing toxins we know little about. The majority of existing mushrooms have probably never been consumed by human beings, so there is a lot yet to be learned. Certain field guides only half a century old (or perhaps even less) apparently list Cortinarius rubellus as edible.

luckily we have really nice people like anglerfish that take time out to answer this nonsense in a really nice way.

You can assume trolling but if you read my first post on this thread, I state that I had no camera when I found them, they break easily, they are a mystery mushroom and I'm taking it to a lab to identify it 100%. If you look at my previous threads, I don't troll. I don't want to keep seeing the word troll on my thread, plz stop trolling on my thread.

I am looking that up. I can say that 100% this mushroom is not poisonous. I did a 4 day bite n' spit test. First day, chewed and spit out, no sickness within 24 hours. Second day, ate a small pen tip amount and 24 hours, no sickness. Day 3, I ate a quarter of a smaller cap and the next 24 hours, no sickness. Yesterday around mid day, I ate a half of a cap and 15 hours later, not sickness.

you would probably be the first ever hero to actually call themselves a hero.
