This doesn't look like a usual micaceus. The pileal surface is normally darker the veil is much more "granular" and it normally grows in large numbers.
Just a thought

Mal | I see where you're coming from Mal but I still think it is C. micaceus.
I also think it may well have been re planted as an individual ... not that I would do such a thing

It looks quite like the C.micaceus I've been finding recently. I put the slightly different to normal appearance down to the fact that we've had showery/sunny weather, which I assumed had washed off the granules, with the caps then starting to dry.
I don't think the one in the photo has been replanted - but is being held up in front of the lens).
Regards
Mike. |

Why not C. domesticus - just a thought and an error I have made in the past.

Fungalpunk Dave | That would be my suggestion too - the red mycetial mat would fit but that, I believe, is highly suggestive and not diagnostic. |

It is also typical with C. radians
C. domesticus is quite often found as a solitary specimen and in young fruitbodies (as shown here) it would normally have the remmant 'granules' on the cap surface.
This is a typical C. domesticus: 
If any fungi are indeed 'typical'

John | I would say its most likely to be C. domesticus John. Most certainly not C. micaceus
