Don't take my word for it, but these look very much like Mycena arcangeliana.

No doubt someone much better qualified than me will be along with an ID shortly.

Am I just posting for the sake of posting, probably.

Defo a Mycena, although I hate identifying fungi as much as I hate doing the same with seagulls. If I attempt to extract any Latin names from my brain I end up with;

Mycena clavicularis
Mycena alba
Mycena arcangeliana

God knows which grow in the UK anyway, as Fungi are not my speciality, although the arcangelina should have a more smokey top to the cap... or I am so wrong I should give up and sleep; posting about a topic I have limited knowledge about is not something I should be doing at 02.30!).

Clavicularis? It has a glutinous stipe and grows in pine debris so not that.
Alba? This has a small 5mm cap and this looks too big for that (and too many lamellae)
Galericulata? Possible but the stipe of galericulata is usually more substantial.
Without a view of the gills to show if there is any inter-veining or a microscope to show spores and cystidia I would still go with arcangeliana
