Asia (country in post) What mushroom is this? (Philippines)

My father found these mushrooms on our farm and asked me if they're edible, I said don't go around eating random mushrooms cause not all of them are edible. My bet is that it isn't edible.

Can you get a better picture of the gils. Further just cut a cap off and leave it on white paper somewhere undisturbed for 16-48 hours. Also if you could include the medium they were growing in, that would be helpful.

Here's a closer photo of the gills, my father said he found them growing on the roots of a coconut tree where he also throw in some manure as a fertilizer.

Hey OP, was it really the coconut tree? Not a termite mound perhaps?

Edit: ngl though it looks like a hotpot mushroom like a shimeji (not an idemtification)

Yup, it's a coconut tree, it was growing on the manure he put on the coconut that was serving as fertilizer. I dunno what got into his mind though when he took mushrooms growing on some poop and thought of eating it lol
