| | | Cortinarius - but which?
Ok its not the done thing I know - trying to ID something from a photo is full of pitfalls but I have photographed it (telling myself it was trivialis) and of course it isn't but I cannot get even close to any determination and wondered if anyone had any ideas - or had seen anything like it?
Just to recap:
Cap - golden honey colour - sticky
Gills - lilac/brown
Stipe - white above cortina attachment, yellow below bleted white cortina remnants - defo white - whole appearance/jizz is of white tipped yellow scales
Growing in rough short grass beside path next to ditch. Soil rich valley bottom overlying limestone (deeply buried at this point) path leads to raised acidic heathland valley bog - South Lakes. (Meathop Moss)

What makes you say this isn't Cortinarius trivialis, Pauline?
That would have been my immediate thought, but I haven't looked up a description to check the characters. |

Conformation came at Clumber that this is indeed C. trivialis during a lot of discussion over many fungi related stuff and chat about folks' images etc .... |

Maybe this thread should be the dedicated Cortinarius thread Alanb would like.... Title is very apt.
These were found in the last few days under a Rugosa Rose, with Spanish bluebells and Lords and Ladies.    
Where is the gill shot .... 
Young gills mauve. Mature gills warm tan brown, notched, quite wide spaced.
Stem and flesh not staining with ammonia or KOH. Flesh whitish becoming slightly brownish gradually on cutting. Smell mild, mushroomy, not distinctive.
Lots of clamps.  
Spores possibly slightly warty. (7.7) 8.1-9.0 (9.4) x (4.6) 4.7-5.3 (5.5)um Qav 1.7
All pointers in the right direction very welcome.

Additional info on the above. Habitat under Rosa rugosa, which has been there nearly 20 years, no other tree/shrub has been there in that place during that time. It is a very small front garden, acid soil. It appeared within two days of its appearance last year, seems very regular in its habit. And it grows exactly where Arum maculatum is growing. Taste seems to be mild, but I was rather cautious, didn't want to chew it in case it was a rather poisonous one. Smell, possibly slightly radishy, but not strongly so.
I'm not even sure which group it belongs to.
