Thank you Alex! I'm inclined to agree that they look more like a Paneaolus. That's very interesting about your observations of fungi responding to light. I know plants tend to be shorte in sun and even of one case where it was described as two different species merely because they specimens looked so different when growing in full sun to shade!
nice shot, good find. i like him. i'm not sure : he has the cap-shape of the psilocybe semilanceata ( http://www.google.com/search?pq=google&hl=en&sugexp=kjrmc&cp=11&gs_id=1c&xhr=t&q=armillaria+ostoyae&rls=com.microsoft:nl&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1203&bih=600&wrapid=tljp1318965235331019&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi#um=1&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:nl&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=psilocybe+semilanceata&oq=psilocybe&aq=1&aqi=g10&aql=1&gs_sm=c&gs_upl=22788l28498l0l31289l9l7l0l0l0l0l828l2799l2-2.3.1.0.1l7l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=acb0c6a0e6baa20e&biw=1203&bih=600 ) but also the little pieces at the cap as some mushrooms from genus paneaolus. (page 2 - http://www.google.com/search?pq=google&hl=en&sugexp=kjrmc&cp=11&gs_id=1c&xhr=t&q=armillaria+ostoyae&rls=com.microsoft:nl&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1203&bih=600&wrapid=tljp1318965235331019&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi#um=1&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:nl&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=panaeolus&oq=panaeolus&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=1&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=50545l50742l8l51380l2l2l0l0l0l0l252l405l0.1.1l2l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=acb0c6a0e6baa20e&biw=1203&bih=600 ). but also for both a realativ to short stem. My home-cultivation-experience with the psilocybe cubensis showed me, when i sat them to close to the window (light), they became rather little stems and bigger heads. when it was to dark/no real sunlight they became very tall stems and little caps. take a look and decide yourself. And i tend to suggest is is maybe a paneaolus. good luck
