At first I thought this might be Inocybe (cf. Inocybe sp.). However, looking closely at the gills in the center specimen, I’m pretty sure this would have a pink spore sprint. Putting the spores under a microscope would tell you immediates (Nolaneas have ‘angular’ spores that look like distorted polygons). Getting Nolaneas to species often usually requires microscopy and a lot of patience. A. pediades, on the other hand, usually has a flatter cap and grows in grass.
You must record the smell of the Nolaneas. A noticeable odor to me with Nolaneas is the cucumbery, some smell it as farinaceous, odor.
