Brian, it ticks a lot of the right boxes. From Rogers:

Coprinus micaceus (Bull. ex Fr.) Fr. Glimmertintling Coprin micacé Glistening Inkcap Mica Cap . Cap 1.5-5cm high, ovoid expanding to bell-shaped, with a split or sometimes rolled-back margin that is lined and grooved almost to the center; tawny becoming cinnamon toward the center; covered with white powdery granules from the veil, especially when young, becoming smooth. Gills attached, close, moderately broad; white becoming date brown then black. Stem 25-85 x 2-5mm, hollow, fragile; white, discoloring buff in lower part; smooth or slightly felty. Odor none. Spores ellipsoid, smooth, with pore at tip, 7-10 x 4.5-6µ. Deposit date brown to blackish. Habitat in dense tufts around stumps or on bruised wood. Very common. Found widely distributed throughout North America and Europe. Season April-October (all year in southern California).

I'd say you're right. I guess we'll wait and see what an expert says

Hi,
thanks for that,
it looks the most likely candidate, but i've been wrong before and for certain i'll be wrong again with this fungi id business
but with all the knowledge there is on this forum , i'm sure someone will put me right.
