This is a dry old specimen, unfortunately. It is entirely possible it once had an evanescent or fibrillose veil.
GEN small mushroom, several in lawn (possibly on wood chips)
ST: 60×4mm, solid, curvy, fibrous, tough, bruising conspicuously blue esp. near base
CAP: 15mm wide, convex, pale golden, smooth with some v thin brownish scattered fibrillose scales
FLESH: 1-2mm, whitish, hard when dry
GILL: vivid golden, decurrent

The color of the spore print seems to strongly suggest Gymnopilus despite apparently growing in a lawn.
