To anyone seeing this - first up thanks for your help!
My friend collected these in the hills of Northumbria (North East England) over the past week (Mid-End September).
He thinks that they might be liberty caps but I am not sure and thought I would check on here before he starts eating them.
I'm afraid I haven't got a spore print but I think if these aren't caps they should be pretty easy to rule out by look alone.
If anyone could confirm with some added technical knowledge that'd be great. I was unable to upload as images so I've attached it as a PDF.
Thanks in advance!

Any idea what they are?
Want to make sure these aren't poisonous before he decides to try em.

Those photos are not good enough for a proper identification. Please prevent your friend from doing stupid things, like eating unidentified mushrooms. For what I can see, I get Inocybe vibes, which are very likely toxic containing muscarine. There seems to be multiple species in your photos.

Sound advice velho. I had posted to get this confirmed and convey that very sentiment.
Seems I can now certainly happy to confirm they're not lib caps.
Thanks guys.
Pics should be Below. Not sure how much more detail though as had to reduce the file size.

Pictures aren't very good, you'll normally need to take good close up shots of all features including cap, gills and entire stem.
However, I can say these do not look anything at all like liberty caps. They are most likely an Inocybe species, many of which are severely toxic and will make you very, very sick if you consume them. You can try smell one or two and try to describe the odor.
