Aspiring mycologist, absolute newbie wanting to know what I've found.

I have never even seen a legitimate shroom before in my life. I have always known about them and have heard rumours about being able to find them in the area in which I live. I have tripped on other psychedelics in the past and have always wanted to try shrooms. I was out walking a couple of hours ago when I remembered that shrooms apparently grow plentifully where I was walking, I had a look and found these and as I know nothing, I was wondering if someone could identify what I've found.
Habitat: I found these mushrooms under a tree growing in grass, they were growing next to the tree but not actually off of it. The place where I was walking was about 80m above sea level. They were found in the south of England.
Gills: I'm presuming the gills are underneath the cap, they are very dark brown colour and break apart quite easily.
Stem: The stem is very long, some are quite straight and others are bent, they're very thin and have the same sort of colour as the caps, a little lighter actually. They are all hollow.
Cap: The caps are quite big and wide as you can see in the picture. There are also some with very small caps. They aren't very pointy and have quite a wide base. The small ones cone over more whereas the bigger ones are much more open.
Spore print color: I'm not sure what this means if someone is happy to explain I'd be grateful.
Bruising: They sort of went a bit browner when squashed in my pocket.
Other information: The mushrooms have a pretty strong, rubbery smell. They smell just like balloons. I accidentally squashed them a bit when I took them home in my pocket. Here's a picture:

Any information would be really helpful, thanks a lot.
