Found these growing close to work The wavy caps caught my eyes!
I thought they may be a psilocybe (azurescens or cyanescens likely the latter) but being a complete newbie to shroom hunting never having picked in the wild I have no clue- just have those images burnt in my mind of the wavy caps from all the lurking I do here!
I decided to collect a few shrooms to bring home to photograph and print to ask for your opinion. There were some dark and very old looking shrooms right next to the shed that I did not touch- seen in the first photo- with the cluster that I brought home seen in the distance in the flowerbed 
It was obvious when I re-read descriptions of psilocybe sp that these were most likely not one of them. I didn't dig too deep but galerina autumnalis came up as a likely ID for these... https://www.shroomery.org/forums/images/icons/shocked.gif
In one of the picws there is a white bell shaped mushroom I noticed at the time but did not give much heed to looking at it now I wonder if this is one of the deadly amanitas? OR a white galerina?
I'm sorry I have not done a descriptive ID before I will try below Ps when it says concave does it mean the edges of the cap are turning up?
Habitat: Found several clusters of these growing out of an old tree stump - well in the space between the bark and the wood rather than from the outside of the tree itself. London/North London area, under the shelter of a wooden fence 6 inches away as well as shrubs. growing in dense clusters with thick mycelium at base. November in UK here, temps have been low and there has been heavy rain last 2 days. The smaller mushrooms have gnarly inturned caps whereas the larger ones have flatter somewhat convex caps Gills: Yellow to mustard coloured, attached
Stem: 7.5-12.5cm long, half to one cm diameter, rust to dark brown colour occasionally reddish black especially at base, fibrous texture, when torn apart it is solid not hollow
Cap: Max diameter upto 11cm - most mature mushrooms are 5cm or larger, colour varies (smaller mushrooms are tan to dark brown)but mainly light yellow brown to tan to dark brown often wavy when (over?)mature, , feels leathery to touch,concave?, spherical in shape.
Spore print color: -- awaiting a spore print just picked these
Bruising: none- the base of the stems was a slimy black though before handling
Other information: The broken cap smells sweet and shroomy

The whitish capped, bell shaped mushroom is likely a Mycena sp.
