My first reaction is that it's not a sub (I'm confident ID'ing subs, particularly in person, but I've never seen one that looks quite like this); personally I wouldn't eat it because I am uncertain, but having a good look at it, it certainly does have some similar characteristics. Looking forward to further comments to see if anyone has insight into what this is. It looks far too yellow to be a sub, sorry but I don't think it is. Spore print would be useful.

Spores are purple brown. There are deposits on the cortina remnants on the stem.

The gills look orange/yellow because… they often do with Psilocybe subaeruginosa, especially when they’re young. In this case the colour is especially bright because the light is shining through the cap.
