On the grass this morning, withered within a few hours, not auto-digesting, with a clear collar at the top of the stem, no velar remains, seems classic plicatilis.
Cap, gills and stem plus substrate, colour and delicacy all fit Jordans description perfectly
Surely? ?

quite possibly Ken - and if you call it that you're not going to knock the UK map of this species off-kilter

while it is clearly not several of them there are, however, 9 Parasola species on the British list . . . .

cheers
