It would help to see the underside of one. Make sure to dig up the whole mushroom from underneath the ground, sometimes key identifying features can be below the base. Also take a spore print if possible. Those are LBMs (little brown mushrooms), which are notoriously difficult to identify because there are so many different varieties. Sometimes it even takes microscopy to narrow it all the way down to the specific species. Pinch the mushroom, to see if it bruises a certain color, this can be helpful as well. 

I suspect those mushrooms are a species of Coprinopsis.
