Unidentified fungus from my back catalogue

[Wood Wanderer]

Been trying to ID the attached for some while and can't really seem to tie it down, photo taken a few weeks back, growing on fallen oak in contact with soil. Thought it might be a Pluteus variety but cap of mature specimen very umbonate and seems to be a "ring remnant" on stem



Been back today but only old mature specimen left as per original photo.

Can anyone point me in the right direction

hi

trouble with back catalogues is they don't always come with decent field notes; a spore print would have settled whether Pluteus or not (though you're correct the ring would also rule out that genus)

my initial suggestion would be rather gone-over Kuehneromyces mutabilis

[mollisia]

Hello,

my opinion would be old Galerina marginata. On the overview picture one can see a standing fruitbody with the typical stipe for Galerina.

best regards,

Having just checked a few books I can see where your ID comes from, many thanks for the expert guidance
