Spotting

Description:

cap: convex/hemispherical, plane and slightly depressed in age. 7.5 cm diam. 3cm high. cap surface medium brown with a greyish cast. dark scales from radially aligned hairs. margin circular and smooth. interior flesh light off-white. flesh thin. flesh turning yellow then brown where damaged. gills: attached, mildly decurrent. buff. crowded. gills 5mm deep. somewhat brittle. spore print: cream. damage to gills slowly staining yellow and then becoming brown. stem: 5cm long, 1.2 cm wide. even width. just darker than gills. top of interior of stem hollow and yellowish. flesh quite brittle

Habitat:

seems clearly to be in tricholomataceae, but after that I am stumped by the combination of traits

Notes:

several clumps of 2-3 caps each, in grass
