| | | Clitocybe geotropa/nebularis
I found this in a group of Clitocybes growing road-side at the edge of deciduous woodland. This is one of the smaller ones, 10cm diameter, some were twice the size. A few perfect funnel shapes.
I believe it is C. geotropa, but I am not quite sure the distinctive feature(s) cf. nebularis?
As you can see it has a very distinct umbo  
The gills alternate between decurent and shorter (but variable length) gills, white. Mushroom odour (!). Stem fibrillose, tapering, cream. Cap, beige. |

I think you're spot on with C. geotropa. It's not got the right jizz for C. nebularis  |

Ok, so the largest specimen: 
A very nice funnel as you can see.
Half-fairy ring: 
Second half-fairy ring

Also in the vicinity:
Unidenitified Amanita 
Family of A. muscaria: 
A. citrina? , shouldn't have taken it with flash, it's greener than this: 
Puffball sp.:  
No idea what this is, but doubtless very common:

Just tore the specimen in my OP in half and found four little white maggots in the top of the stem/cap base.
Yuck! |

Unfortunately, little white maggots aren't really a defining characteristic of this species  | | |
