I found this today it smalls really strong of mushrooms quite pleasant as if it was edible..

I would guess at Coprinus disseminatus - Fairy Bonnets but one of our resident experts will let you know.

hi Kayleigh

Coprinellus disseminatus Fairy Inkcap comes to mind

Chris

PS - 'can you eat it?' and 'is it edible?' are not the same thing

[Kayleigh]

That's a matter of personal preference.

Edible, apparently!
funny, most books say it is edible, but insubstantial cos of size - but given there are normally sooooo many, you'd think that would compensate for one being little!
Cook up a panful?

Would it really be worth it?

[diggleken]

No.

The smell though was incredible I never squashed it I was only photographing it.
Obviously the smell makes up for taste.
