You might have one of the psychoactive Inocybe species, possibly Inocybe calamistrata.
It also might be toxic, there are many toxic brown spored mushrooms which look like the one you posted and fit the description.
It would help to borrow a camera with macro mode and take some nice closeups, both of picked mushrooms and mushrooms in habitat.
It would also be helpful to look at a gill fragment under a microscope and see what type of cystidia it has.
That still wouldn't tell you if it is safe to eat, there are many toxic Inocybe species which look exactly like that.
No one will be able to tell you if that thing is safe, there really isn't much information out there on these species.
It might be psychoactive but if you eat it you are taking a big risk.

Thanks for the response. I will try to get my hands on a decent camera.
Also, the pictures taken were 8 hours after picking. It has shrunken a lot.
EDIT: Alan, wow, you're pretty on top of all the species. I looked up what you're referring to and they seem fairly simular, except the stem doesn't have the scales or whatever you may call 'em.

whoa the resemblance with the small inocybe is nearly;) hoever i see not the evident bluing in the base but all since to fit , but you confirm so but not so evident i will expect to be all most blue in first sign or greenish , then almost in few minutes blackish , very interisting no Alan.  hope you can remenber where you found this specie since it will grow in that area for years are tree near by, what kind of tree they preferf oaks here,or fraxinus ,if not tree are near by the pacth will extinguish soon may not appear next year but be more in the area i observe they prefer where mosses grow here and where ther is no vegetation or too much grass all my best

Please get some more pictures of it, its a very cool mushroom.

My friend who studies Inocybe calls it squamulose with recurved scales.

Alan,
The are EXACTLY like the pictures of the Inocybe calamistrata you just post. To a T.
As my msg wrote I tossed them out. But I will be back in that area and I know right where they are.
Thanks for the comments.
