ID Help Needed Again!

[GerryNick2]

This is the last of the unknowns from my latest foray in the New Forest and could prove to be a bit of a challenge. Must confess to not even being too sure as to which genus it belongs.

Growing on side of fallen Beech tree.

Cap dia.2cm
Stem ht.4cm
Stem dia. 3mm

Any suggestions more than welcome.

Psathyrella hydrophila, showing the typical cap colours. Notice the typical brittle white stem.

[Fungus Ken]

... and the very hygrophanous cap which turns from a reddish-brown to a pale straw colour as it dries out. Also notice the remains of the partial veil around the edge of the cap - the veil that stretches from the edge of the cap to the stem and covers the gills when the mushroom is young.

Thanks

Am impressed with the quick response, kicking myself for not recognizing this one. I believe it has been renamed and now known as Psathyrella piluliformis -Common Stump Brittlestem.

Thanks Again.
