Glistening Inky Caps
these look very much like a variety of inky cap, but I cut one in half and the gills were quite white... after some more research, I do think these are inky caps, just very young ones. Though because they are wet, you do have to look rather closely to see the granules on the surface, but they are there. The gills, I think, were not fully formed and black yet.
"Coprinellus micaceus" is a common species of mushroom-forming fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae with a cosmopolitan distribution. The fruit bodies of the saprobe typically grow in clusters on or near rotting hardwood tree stumps or underground tree roots.
