Couple of shots below of the same wild mushroom. It was large, about 25cm in diameter and about 20cm tall. Two or three other similar mushrooms were in the immediate area, ie. couple of metres. On an earth bank, on/in rotting leaves, in a very damp area. Hope this helps. Thanks in advance for any info you may have.

Possibly Clitocybe geotropha.

Thanks Davebutterflyman. I thought it might be a Parasol, but your suggestion looks more likely...

I think so too. Most likely Clitocybe geotropa. The fruiting bodies can often last well into the winter.

Thanks for the confirmation, Jonathan. Very useful to have a second opinion. Thanks.
