Gomphidius?

This was found in grass at the edge of a field(20yards from mixed woods). At first I thought it could be a wax cap

but I now think it is a Gomphidius. If it is can anyone point me at which one?

Thanks

Having looked at the spores, the incrusted hyphae of the pp

and the cheilocystidia

and finally compared with FOS unless someone can tell me otherwise
Gomphidius maculatus

I think it is Gomphidius maculatus

(in fairly immaculate condition

). Presumably there was larch in the mixed woodland.

That would account for the Suillus grevillei I found close by
