Found in the south of england in a wood (decidious) growing in clusters of about 10-20 in leaf litter, possibly following the line of scyamore roots, a dying one was growing very nearby

The largest speicmen was about 6cm tall, with a 2cm wide cap.

The young specimens had transclucent darker brown caps, the older ones were creamier, with a darker brown stipe.

The gills were not brittle, very crowded, creamy gills same colour as cap

The specimen dried out very quickly,within 5 minutes of being pulled

stipe very flat and thin

no bruising anywhere

hope this helps! sorry forpoor pictures, personally i would say its a clustered toughshank? but very amateur!
