Help with Mycena? Fibrecap? please

This was found in the margins of a conifer plantation just off the path. Largest cap about 3cm across, no distinctive smell. Pos. Inocybe sindonia

These were found deeper in to the margins trooping on needle litter. Cap of the largest about 8mm. Pos. Mycena lactea.

Thanks for any help, JohnB

the Inocybe looks a distinct possibility - but as always with the microscopy caveat . . .

Hi John,
M. galopus var candida seems to fit too.......................

Cheers

This white and delicate and growing from wood a Hemimycena I think it could be but without the dreaded microscope you might be right in your suggestion of H (Mycena) lactea.

Thanks Ken/Mal

I fully understand the difficulties with ID from images but at this stage I am happy to get to genus with possible species. I wouldn't know where to start with a microscope but who knows what the future holds.
