It's a Tulosesus species.

if it helps it's in Italy, but I think these mushrooms are pretty common everywhere.

Tulosesus sp. is as far as you'll get without microscopy and sequencing.

Something in Psathyrellaceae. Wouldn't be sure if they're Coprinellus micaceus or another species as I don't see the shiny powdery coating on the cap surface I would expect. I'm not sure if they'd manage to start consuming the ginger or if the antimicrobial properties it has would keep it at bay but could be interesting to find out.
update: this night they have grown about 4 cm and the cap opened. They also have released black spores. The colour of the cap is between gray and brown
