Entoloma species looks like a solid match.

Also, just to add to what you wrote, sometimes spore prints are helpful if done for 24 hours, but 12 is a good timeframe.

You have to leave the mushrooms cap for at least a few hours (12 hours has usually worked for me), ideally on top of some kitchen foil, and covered by an upside-down mug or glass. This keeps the cap moist and prevents any air flow in the room from blowing the spores anywhere else other than directly down onto the kitchen foil.

How do you do a spore print? Do you just take the cap and press it on a surface like paper or such?

Thanks, would you still think Entoloma? I've just added a couple of spore print pics
