The first pic in closeup does appear to show some coating on the stipe. I’ll downgrade my proposal.

Mycetinis scorodonius should have a smooth bare stipe, this on is finely pubescent.

garlic odor does bring suspicion to my scorodonius ID. And perhaps I had confused “bitter” with “garlicky” for the taste. So the Gymnopus subnudus possibility is difficult to rule out. Interesting to me that G. subnudus had once been placed into Marasmius. I take it that “scorodonus” has now been put into genus Mycetinis.
I’ve seen a couple more of these recently (no garlic odor). If I run into another one I’ll give it a closer look. Thanks for the input!
distinguishing subnudus and scorodonius. These little mushrooms aren’t exactly the most exciting thing to be seen in the woods. But I really should make an effort to bring some home for the purpose of identifying a few distinguishing characteristics.
