Thanks a lot TheMiesMeister.. that was a great read.
Hi there! It could be some sort of Collybia, and probably the same as your other spotting. There is a dark variety of Collybia dryophila, it's called C. dryophila var. funicularis.
might be the same as these http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/119...
