You're right, gully. The fibrous remnants remind me of Coprinellus domesticus, but there are a couple more species in this group that look very much alike. Fantastic detailed shots, by the way! I love the natural lighting. A great way to recap your ID's. If you want to have it complete, you should have a shot of the base of the stipe. Some Coprinellus and Coprinopsis have 'hairy feet', which is a good identification mark, just like Amanitas should be photographed in its whole aswell.
Well it's not a Mica cap because it lacks the mica! Sparkly granular dots which are remnants of a universal veil. This universal veil is much more fibrous. It is likely another Coprinellus species or perhaps Coprinopsis.

Thanks Michel, I'll keep your tips in mind next time I'm photographing mushrooms!

This looks like the Mica cap (Corpinellus micaceus)
