It might not even be Cortinarius! I plucked a smaller specimen to look for a cortina and there was one. I'm sure I'll find out soon (When Karl Soop joins WAB LOL )
Let's get down to business. These were spread out in a nice troop near to an oak tree on sandy soil. Lots of juicy moss present.
Max cap diameter, 70mm, you can calculate the stem size proportionally using the photograph. I didn't remember it smelling of anything and you can be sure as hell I didn't taste this one  
All input appreciated greatly,

Yes, a
Cortinarius as suggested, and a lovely photo of a
Cortinarius Nick - but that doesn't get one very much nearer any specific identification unfortunately !
It's one of sect.
Telamonia I think. [I hate to think how many hundreds of those there are to choose from !]
