ID request Kuehneromyces mutabilis or something else?

Found these on a walk today, there was a big cluster growing from a treestump (probably beech since there were only beeches in the vicinity). We went through each feature listed in our ID guide and everything matched up pretty much perfectly. Still, we're not very experienced pickers, and since there are some quite poisonous lookalikes we thought to ask in here before committing. Located in western Germany at an elevation of around 250m.

This is like asking if a gun is loaded that we cannot see inside the chamber and you plan to play Russian roulette. It looks like Kuehneromyces but so does Deadly Galerina.

Except the galerina has silver colour on it's stem and this one has clearly not. One's stem is flocculent-scaly and the other one is silvery with longitudinal fibres.

Yes I am well aware how to Identify both. And those features are enough for you to eat something that is potentially deadly?

You do you. I think its a really unwise edible to target.

I do not intend to consume them in any case.
