First time actually eating them, played it safe and boiled for 10 mins, cooked for 15. Really tasty but totally overdid it haha, no GI upset though. Had a bad time with Chlorophyllum brunneum once and didn't want a repeat.

Seem to be Armillaria sinapina, yellow veil remnants and thats what is most common in my area.

Ah we have those here too, they're pretty widespread. Taking a spore print is a surefire way to tell them apart: cut off a cap and put it on a piece of foil, then put a cup over it. After a few hours you'll either have white spores (Armillaria) or brown spores (Galerina).

IMO Galerina Marginata don't really look much like honey mushrooms once you're familiar with them. Honey mushrooms have scales on the stem and sometimes the cap depending on the species which Galerina never have. Galerina also tend to be smaller with insubstantial cap flesh and thinner stems. Both grow in clusters but Galerina grows in smaller clusters of 3-5 vs 10 or more.
