Fungi village! Any clue what they may be?

Fungi village! Any clue what they may be?
Growing in the shade of a line of willows.
They show faint ridging on the tops, and black gills in both cases.

They appear to be Coprinopsis or Coprinellus sp. My best guess is Coprinopsis atramentaria commonly called " alcohol inky" . If you eat these mushroom and drink alcohol you get extremely sick.

Thank you - I had no plans to but thanks for the warning! I was interested to read in Roger's Mushrooms that they have been used in the treatment of alcoholics, so that if they do have a drink, they feel so deathly ill, they won't have another - or at least until the effect wears off! Just good to know what is what. This damp weather we have been having has resulted in an explosion of fungi appearing.
