I'm not too sure what is in there to be honest. I know that whatever is in there sprouted up Hay Makers not so long ago in a pot next to this. All the pot contents are of the same material and all housed Tomato plants.

There seem to be the remnants of a partial veil, which has left bits on the edge of the cap and at least a partial ring on some of the specimens.

I'd have thought Conocybe s.l. would have been a good starting point i.e. one of the species in Pholiotina. They usually need microscopy to sort them out.

Are the veil remants yellowishish-brown, by the way, or is that just the effect of the flash? Not that I can recall off the top of my head if that is a helpful character.

what you may be looking at is probably dirt from the pot.. unfortunately somebody had earlier gone along and attempted to stop the mushrooms from growing by uprooting most of them, and where the caps are slightly sticky because they are wet the stuff has stuck to them, including some of the Mycelium.

They did though indeed have rings or at least some of them

I have added another a picture of them and i hope this might be of a little more help and clearer...

agreed 100% with that second photo Pholiotina arrhenii, P. hadrocystis . . . that area

there you go! Andreas would approve - treating Pholiotina as a good genus, distinct from Conocybe!
