Is this a Tricholoma? Cortinarius?

not sure whether you'll get a positive ID on this one, but to go back to your final words: "Tricholoma? Cortinarius?" - the one genus has a white spore deposit and the other a reddish-brown one, so you can eliminate at least one of those all by yourself . . .
just like that!  
best wishes
Chris

Chris | Spore print reddish-brown. I guess I'll never be brave enough to try eating any Cortinarius, regardless of the recomendation by Roger Phillips that Cortinarius purpurescens is good eating.  |

It doesn't have any strong characters that would make it stand out as a Cortinarius so I'd be thinking Hebeloma was also a possibility. This is a case where microscopic characters would be needed to take things any further.

Ken | It was quite tough, almost rubbery. Hebeloma are a bit softer? |
