Excellent , you are both right i.e. Collybia ocior = Gymnopus ocior in funga nordica.

This is Strobilurus stephanocystis, the cystidia with with ball of fine
exudates are obvious, (had looked down scope before reading description
and thought they were an artifact).

Thanks to Leif's initial heads up; all the splendid advice proferred on this thread and JP's excellent follow up work under his 'scope it renders records for yesterday at Thursley NNR as follows:

Mitrula paludosa - Bog Beacon
Tephrocybe palustris - Sphagnum Grayling
Strobilurus stephanocystis
Pluteus petasatus
Volvariella gloiocephala - Stubble Rosegill
Gloeophyllum sepiarium - Conifer Mazegill
Collybia ocior

Throw in the Common Sundew - Drosera rotundifolia and sightings of Wood Lark and Curlew and you have a very worthwhile excursion.

Cheers

Brilliant comparison, thank's for taking the trouble to post.
If i can just keep improving on the microscopy it will be a good year.

Cheers J.P.
