Could either be a Bolbitius, a Psathyrella or a Conocybe. But based on the colour and configuration of the gills, the (what I believe to be) hygrophaneous cap (which means the colour of the cap changes when it dries up) and the bit flocculose texture at the top of the stipe, just under the cap, I think it would be a Bolbitius species. Though I can't say with confidence, for I haven't had this mushroom in in my hands in reallife!
