I'll go for Cortinarius as a highly plausible guess - though not guaranteed to be correct. The two mushrooms are still quite immature and each still has a dense, cobwebby partial veil (or cortina) covering the gills. Cortinarius, though not the only genus with such a partial veil, is a common genus and there are species of Corinarius with this overall appearance.
