Yes I was wondering about that as someone elsewhere wasn't sure of the difference. |

Hello,
oops, caught 
I was just thinking of the pura-group.
In most cases one can tell apart rosea from pura, but in this case I wouldn't dare to. But tentatively I would head for M. rosea.
best regards,
Andreas

Thanks for the help - I have had a look at the stems this morning (in the pouring rain !) and the stem is white so it is M. rosea. |

Mycena rosea can have a pink stem and Mycena pura can have a white stem.
Here is what one expert has to say about the differences:
"In spite of the fact that Mycena rosea, once shown, is easily distinguishable from M. pura already in the field, it is rather embarrassing to find that the differences are not readily translated into words and it is rather a surprise to learn that microscopically there is no difference between the two species."
In other words, over time you just get a feel for it. Not very scientific though.
