I normally stay away from Mycena but this and the next one were so beautiful and the crisp mountain air so invigorating this morning that I couldn’t resist. As expected, I failed to find any matches in Demystified.

Summary: Galerina
Of course! That explains the brown gills. Had I had time to get a spore print, like you, I would’ve nixed Mycena immediately. Funny story on obv #4485. Thanks for catching this.

Summary: Galerina sp.
Take a look at observation number 4485 and 4908, there are some photos there to give you a good idea. I’m not saying this is G. tibiicystis, for that we need to look at the cheilocystidia, along with spore size and roughness. Although the habitat is correct, in the ground in deep moss.
There are a bunch of Galerina that look like this.
