Summary: change to Psathyrella

Comment: I’m changing this from galerina to Psathyrella as most commenters have steered me in that direction. I’ve not much to go on though, why Psathyrella? The most distinguishing parts of this fungus are striate cinnamon brown cap that fades to tawny brown, no more than 6.5cm in diameter. Spore print is mocha brown, same color as the mature gills which are very free and wide, nearly 5/6th of the cap thickness. Stem is at first whitish and now faded to a light shiny tan. Growth on wood, either coniferous or red alder. No sign of a ring.
