Found these around the lower Lliedi Reservoir, even after the hard frost we have been having. I assume it is a Clitocybe but could be wrong. It was quite large at around 9cms across which I thought would narrow it down but couldn't find a match as the spores were quite small at ~ 5.3 x 3.1 µm.
The psathyrella growing in wood chip and leaf litter was very tall around 12 cms and very hairy at the base of the stem so I would be taking it as Rootlet Brittlestem, Psathyrella microrhiza as spores fit and there was a slight pink colour to the gill edges. Quite common but still nice to see.
There was also a mass of Clustered domecap, Lyophyllum decastes.
Yes, the frost does odd things to the few fungi brave enough to 'fruit'.
