We really need to see a photo taken from the side, which would ideally show the whole stem and any markings, and also if the cap has a raised centre (called an 'umbo') this would show up too in a side photo.
Sorry, but I cannot even make a suggestion.

Hi, Neil.
This afternoon I went back to the location and made some other pictures.
I hope that they will make the identifycation easier.
But the mushrooms are two days older.

That's much better, BUT .... I still do not know, as I do not know of any Clitocybe that looks like this.
I do not think your fungus is old, but maybe the flash has produced a different brown colour - that's the only excuse I can come up with to excuse my lack of knowledge in this case.
Neil. 
Edit. A thought has just come to me, the gills have turned pink not brown, so I think this could be Clitopilus prunulus - does it have a 'mealy' smell, like flour or mice ?

Hello,
I could imagine that those are old Melanoleuca cognata. Gills and stem would firt perfectly, only the cap shap is alittle bit aberrant.
How big were those caps?
best regards,
Andreas

Hello Andreas.
The caps diameter were about 10/12 cm.
Greetings, jaerdam |

So, you win again Andreas  - too big for Clitopilus, but I wish I had known what the spore colour was.

Neil. | Hello,
no proof of that. Clitopilus can become 10-12 cm too, although a bit unusual though. But the gills are not decurrent in my opinion, what speaks against Clitopilus. On the other hand that is of course no proof that it then must be Melanoleuca cognata 
best regards,
Andreas
