St George's Mushrooms are much stockier than this and have white gills. Horse Mushroom is a bit closer, but that would be much bigger, have chocolate (or pink if younger) gills, and wouldn't have striations on the cap.

I think it is probably Coprinellus deliquescens, which is a sort of inkcap. Growing on a stump, or buried wood, yes?
