These are in our garden, under a Pyracantha shrub with Ash and Silver Birch in close proximity. I will be able to provide gill shots etc over the weekend but was wondering if any id was possible from this photo alone?

Hi Dave,

No, I don't think it can be ID'd from this photo.

The dark stems are interesting - I guess it could be one of the species in the Gymnopus/Marasmius group...
If you could provide an undershot of the gills, a note of whether the stem is smooth or pruinose (when dry) and and a note of whether it smells (eg. of rotten cabbage) we should be able to get near an ID.

Cheers,
Nick
 
Sorry for the delay in providing additional info Nick. The stem didn't appear smooth and there was some suggestion of pruinescence on the stem. There was an odour of some kind, possibly a rotting cabbage but my sense of smell is quite poor.

Here is an image of the gills.
