It looks like the Earthy Powdercap - Cystoderma amianthinum

If you put a potassium hyroxide pellet onto the cap of Cystoderma amianthinum the flesh goes a lovely bright red. It probably works with the sodium hydroxide pellets you buy as drain cleaner but I've never tried it.
Whichever, use tweezers to pick up the pellets.... |

John | I don't think it does John  habitat wrong, and look at that ring!
I would say this is a Conocybe in section Pholiotina (Andreas would treat Pholiotina as a separate genus, with some justification)
species impossible without microscopy . . . it's in the region of C. arrhenii and C. hadrocystis et al.
at least that's what I think . . . .
cheers
Chris
