Can anyone help id these?

Not sure if this is the right forum for this as it isn't really mushroom hunting, but I was out picking up some wood chips from the side of the railway after they'd been chipping the tree branches and I found an older pile that'd already been colonised by these mushrooms


I don't know what they are or whether they're edible or not but if they are (and I like the taste) I may transfer them to a new bed of chips. All the info I have at the moment is a wee Collins Mushrooms & Toadstools id book but it isn't much help, though from it I suspect they may be a species of Inocybe, and poisonous.
Anyone have any other ideas?
If this is the wrong forum just go ahead and move it.
Thanks

Sorry, just read the rules. Here's the additional info:
* Habitat - United Kingdom, growing on dead unknown wood chips (though thought to be hardwood from the nearby stumps). * Characteristics of the gills - light browny grey, think gills are sinuate or adnexed. * Characteristics of the stem - no bigger than about 7cm in height, bit more than half a cm in diameter (of the biggest ones), stem is hollow, texture smooth. * Characteristics of the cap - diameter about 8cm, whitey with yellowing at the top, I alwaya get concave/convex confused but its like ( 90 degrees clockwise, cap is a wee bit slimyon the larger ones but not much. * Spore print color (very important!) - I'm working on it, let you know in a wee while * Colour that the mushroom bruises - it doesn't appear to bruise any colour. * Scent of the mushroom - I'm not trying to be sarky but it smells of mushroom

You'll forgive me if I wait for a second opinion as I see you've said the same thing for all your id's, even where someone else identified one as toxic.

I'm not sure off the top of my head but its definitely not an active and probably not edible. I can think of a few dark spored mushrooms with a ring on the stem that grow on woodchips but i'd be guessing.
Great ID info by the way. Someone better than me should be able to help you further.

I would need a print to get started. Inocybe is a good guess, all but for that ring.
Inocybe fibrosa
Read through some keys there and see if you can get a match.
*O yeah, I was gonna say, you'd be crazy to take the advice of whatshisface. Thanks Anno!

Here's the spore print.
 I'll check out the page you linked. Yes, I didn't trust his advice, especially as he'd just answered about 4 different id threads saying they're all edible.

Were they growing in tufts near willow or poplars? If so I'm thinking Agrocybe. Maybe Agrocybe cylindracea..

I agree, probably Agrocybe.

There were willows furthr along the railway line, they may have been part of the wood chips the mushrooms were growing on. Thery were growing in groups of 2 or 3 when not on their own so I think they might be Agrocybe, they look more like it than Inocybe.
Thanks
