Spotting

Description:

Small pale creamy brown mushrooms with a conical caps about 20mm wide. Caps were slightly rough with crusty centres. The margins were ragged with wisps of cobwebby membrane attached to them. Stipes appeared thick and cream coloured and about 25mm long. Each stipe had a scaly ring about a third of the way down, and about two-thirds of the way down the stipe was a ring which looked like it was peeled back. Gills were the same colour as the cap and were spaced.

Habitat:

damp grass and leaf litter.

Notes:

These mushrooms were small, very rigid and had tough stipes. There were quite a few in the area but they were not in clumps. It was difficult to pull them out of the soil. Could they be of the Cortinarius genus ??
