Haven't seen anything like this before. It appeared to be growing up out of some road apples along the track of my regular daily walk. ID? 
Edit: About 6 inches tall overall. There was a smaller one nearby with a more distictly dark brownish umbo - also touching the horse pooh.

Hi Jim,
It does have an odd shape to it, but I'd be thinking it will be something like Panaeolus semiovatus - Egghead Mottlegill.
Regards,
Mike. |

That was my thought as well but as you say not exactly a textbook shape.

The smaller one had exactly the same elongated shape, so this is not just a single atypical fruit body. |

John, the ring is where the knickers should be.
