Habitat: Growing in natural damp dips in the ground, near moss, pine trees and spikey oak leaves
Location: Woods in South West Ireland
Gills: Didn't take note when they were still fresh but I think they were dark inside with white-grayish edges, uniformly spaced, linearly attached to the stem at the base of the cap. Now, after about 17h of them lying on the paper towel the gills look white-yellowish.
Stem: 1mm thick, from 2.5cm to 4cm in length. Mostly dark brown-black, a bit brighter near the bottom. Was very elastic (before drying), some were slightly bent.
Cap: Shape: Bell shaped with the characteristic nipple at the top. The very young ones were taller than wider, curved inwards. Bigger ones were more open but still bell shaped. Color: Small ones where almost black at the top and fading to gray going towards the edge of the cap. Bigger ones looked similar but not as dark. The edge of the cap is clearly visible in white-gray colour. Bigger shrooms had slightly undulated edge. After 17h of drying the caps are mostly gray, with some black spots. Didn't notice any brusing when I picked them up. Maybe it's the black spots? Scent: Very faint, smelled like any other edible mushroom?
Pic 1: Is 2h after I picked them up, for size comparison there's a 20c euro coin

Pic 2: After 17h of drying. Gills are visible. Taken with flash

Pic 3: Attempt to take a close-up of the mushroom.

I hope some kind soul helps me to identify this mushroom. OFF TOPIC (but not required): if it does indeed contain Psilocybin, then what is the dosage dry for medium-heavy trip.
Thanks again

Thank you for your quick reply.
Would you know what species of Mycena is it? From what I looked at, what I have looks the most like either: Mycena kurrkacea, although it doesn't have the whitish rim on the cap

or
Mycena atrata

Can't really decide on any of them, could you suggest anything? Of course if I can't find what it is I won't eat them

elprawn is just specifying the genus, not the species. There are at least 500 mycena species (according to wiki), and a lot of them are hard to identify and narrow down to species without microscopy.
And just a tip, you won't find psilocybe semilanceata in the woods; they grow in grasslands/pastures.
