In the field, the two are easily distinguishable by simply feeling the two in your hands for comparison. C. dryophila, as as most (if not all) Collybia species show, has a very tough stem whereas A. fulva is a very delicate little number.
Hope that helps a little!

Thats what threw me Nick, when I saw the first one I plucked had a U bend on the end of the stem I quickly picked another which also had the same, so I immediately thought great that will be easy to identify.....  |

Just got back from holiday so apologies for late response to this one. Quote:

So the habitat with oak would be right.
The black staining on the gills limits the options considerably and I think this most likely was Lyophyllum gangraenosum.
