Hi guys, hope I am doing this right(!)
I found these...

& the underside...
]
..growing all around a tree in England. They seem grey - silvery, with dark gills, some sort of cap at the top - more browny, thin stems.
Does anyone know what these are?
Thanks for reading

Mycena?
-------------------- Dorn calls the vessel the vas pellicanicum, and says that with its help the quinta essentia can be extracted from the prima materia. The anonymous author of the scholia to the "Tractatus aureus Hermetis" says: "This vessel is the true philosophical Pelican, and there is none other to be sought for in all the world." It is the lapis itself and at the same time it contains the lapis; that is to say, the lapis itself is its own container. This formulation is borne out by the frequent comparison of the lapis to the egg or to the dragon which devours itself and gives birth to itself. - C. Jung, Alchemical Studies p.87

They are not magic. Nothing from Coprinellus contains psilocybin.
They are not Mycena. Nothing from Mycena has dark gills.

Thanks Alan,
I appreciate your info, as am keen to go hunting for edible and magic mushrooms, but am a little nervous about doing so due to the health risks. I have a lot of reading to do, I reckon
