| | | liberty cap?
Found quite a few of these in some damp soil with lots of moss. Look to me like a psilocybe? Has the serrated bell like in some photos I have seen. 
If you zoom in you can see some detail. |

The caps don't look pointed enough, but I'm no expert.

Thanks Mal. Maybe mycena inclinata? I suppose I need to take a closer look. |

For Psilocybe semilanceata look for a sticky membrane covering the caps but remember it is illegal to pick these mushrooms in the UK. |

They are also much bigger than these in the pic and usually grow in association with cattle pastures. Plenty here at work at the moment.
Cheers,

And they have different coloured spores. Spore prints are really useful for getting closer to the right identification. I always recommend that it's the first thing to do if you are not sure of the genus.
