    possibly Horse mushroom or St Georges Mushroom but dont quote me on it
    There is pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes,
    By the deep sea, and music in its roar, I love not man the less, but Nature more.

    St George's Mushrooms are much stockier than this and have white gills. Horse Mushroom is a bit closer, but that would be much bigger, have chocolate (or pink if younger) gills, and wouldn't have striations on the cap.

    I think it is probably Coprinellus deliquescens, which is a sort of inkcap. Growing on a stump, or buried wood, yes?
