Despite other replies they are definitely not liberty caps. The striations, proportions and proximity are wrong. My random guess is common ink caps, edible unless you drink alcohol!
I've never really tried to identify a mushroom but I've been fascinated by our lawn visitors. It seems to be quite a complex business. If they are Liberty Caps, I'm already in possession of some Class A drugs and I've broken the law just by breaking one off and photographing it.
Here's rather a good clip about how to identify them.

The presenter spends the last ten minutes or so showing random mushrooms and patiently explaining why they are or are not Liberty Caps. I imagine you need to go through a similar process with a reasonably large number of other types in order to gain confidence as a forager. An online description of how you die by Death Cap poisoning made a strong impression on me. I don't fancy having a liver that is auto-digesting so I think I'll stick to Tesco and Lidl.
