Ah we have those here too, they’re pretty widespread.
Taking a spore print is a surefire way to tell them apart: cut off a cap and put it on a piece of foil, then put a cup over it. After a few hours you’ll either have white spores (Armillaria) or brown spores (Galerina).
IMO Galerina Marginata don’t really look much like honey mushrooms once you’re familiar with them. Honey mushrooms have scales on the stem and sometimes the cap depending on the species which Galerina never have. Galerina also tend to be smaller with insubstantial cap flesh and thinner stems. Both grow in clusters but Galerina grows in smaller clusters of 3-5 vs 10 or more.
