Hello,
so it looks like that M. olivaceomarginata could well be. I know M. viridimarginata very well and here the absence of the greenish gill edge is quite common or that it is restricted only to the end near the cap margin. Most other Mycenas with coloured gill edge have nevertheless clearly coloured gill edges through the whole length.
So, what I wanted to say is, that M. olivaceomarginata was a
suggestion. Means in no way a determination, and has to be verified still microscopically if you want to be certain about the identity. Otherwise it will be a Mycena spec. or a Mycena cf. olivaceomarginata or something like that, but not a determination ...
best regards,
Andreas
