Hard to tell from the photos.

# Avoid mushrooms with pores on the under side of the cap.
# Avoid mushrooms which have white spores, a ring, and a bulblike base all on the same mushroom.
# Avoid mushrooms having a white, milky juice.
# If milk or juice is red, the mushrooms are edible.
# Avoid mushrooms having a cap which is thin in comparison with the gills.
# Avoid mushrooms of a bright color and in which the gills are of equal length

Found this on a cookery site.

They don't look like it, but like I said it's hard to tell. There's quite a few identification sites on the net. If they're growing in your back garden though it's unlikely. Big fields with short grass are the best.

How many do you want? Where do you live?

it looks like Laccaria laccata which is edible, but its up to you to identify for sure. these aint gonna be magic shrooms mate.

Those are not at least the UK version of magic mushrooms thats for certain.

I would seriously advise you not to eat them.

I dont know where your from or even what mushrooms they are but I know they are not Psilocybe semilanceata the common UK magic mushroom.

Seriously don't eat mushrooms unless you really know what your eating. It can be fatal.
