EDIT: Gills: Dark brown to Black
      Spore Print: Black
      Stem: Very Thin and Bare
      Bruising: Minor to None

Afternoon Forumers. Yesterday a friend of mine gave me a spore print from a patch in a recently mulched area near our work. I was timid to even try to ID it because I'm from Massachusetts and there's only three actives that grow seasonally here. Well it is closing in on mushroom season here and the caps seem very promising to me due to the print and the setting.

Posted here are some pictures that I hope will help in the process. There are many little guys sprouting right now and I don't want to pick them just yet. I have a microscope at work but don't know what to look for.

Here are the pics. (First is of a surrounding patch that I believe to just be some regular little idicators)







Prints (Any little brown bits are pieces of the cap, they were a little wet)





Sorry if the pictures are small, I had to compress them greatly due to the fact that Samsung Galaxy pictures are very large files(Up to 7MB)

Thanks for the help guys!

Appears to be a Psathyrella sp.

Close up shots of the gills and stem would help.

I think you are correct on that identification.
I thought the dark gills and black print would be a clear giveaway but I was mistaken, just ordinary inedibles.

THESE were next to the patch, and have a hairy stem and lightly colored gills. The baby shrooms (SEEN IN PIC 3 OF FIRST POST) growing in the same colony were littered with hairs and lightly colored as well.
Please check these out and see if they're the same or not.





Thanks for the ID btw, that was pretty quick.
