brown topped fungi id please

[Suefield]

My first post!
East Sussex. On the Dicker clay pan.
Found under blackthorn cleared out earlier this year, on a clay based soil, in grass and leaf debris about 6cm across. Very wild guess - ashen chanterelle
Several larger, older? damaged fruit bodies nearby.
Some gills appear to have some small flap-like things attached to them.

That's a very wild guess

It looks like a Lepista to me, probably L. nuda but you'll always need more info to guarantee an ID!

Here's a few tips on how you can help us help you identify fungi

Thanks Nick, I'm going to try and get a picture of the underside and post it. Sue

[Suefield]

The underside..may or may not help..

The underside confirms Nick's suggestion.

Great! Many thanks for the help Nick and Neil, much appreciated. I'm new to fungi identification... but my passion is growing!
Kind Regards Sue

Found a similar looking mushroom



Thinking it was Lepista I took a spore print which was rusty brown, suggesting Cortinarius

I'd put money on that being lepista too! Any chance of a pic of the spore print, they often come out 'browny' pink, where a cortinarius would be a deep rich reddish brown.

Sorry, no photo of spore print. The fungi had very pleasant almost fragant smell

A few weeks ago I found what I thought was a Wood Blewit on its own under an Oak. When I picked it up the jizz just seemed to be different, so took it home and looked at it carefully.
After half an hour I decided it was Cortinarius and did a spore print.

In the morning it turned out to be pink.

After 30 + years studying fungi and I still get caught out.
