| | | Possible Hygrocybe?
Am I way off the mark by thinking this could be a member of the Hygrocybe genus? I can't find anything else that seems to fit.
This specimen was found over the weekend in a country park in Scotland. It was growing in what I assume was a border between and area of woodland and a lawn. This one was solitary but there were clumps of these growing together nearby.  
Regards

No, not a Hygrocybe but probably Inocybe geophylla var. lilacina

Just a thought Wayne ... Was there any signs of a cortina on any of the fruit bodies?
If not, another possibility is Mycena rosea

No sign of a veil/cortina, John.
I assumed that this was M.rosea, taken last autumn. 
To me, there are obvious differences, but I'm new to all this and my eye is untrained. I'm still drawn to H.calyptriformis
