Growing next to six or so other mates, of which it was the largest in size, embedded in moss on the side of a ditch in otskirts of mixed deciduous woodland in South West Britain. Felt quite fleshy and sturdy. Cap 5cm diametre, style 10cm L, 1cm w at top nearly 2cm w at base. Style has a silky sheen and under fibrills looks (looked!) much paler than and whiter rather than yellowish/brownish.

Photo does not service to spore colour, which is more cinnamon-like in shade than it shows (background white but looks blue...)

Thanks in advance for any input

Except for a few easy-to-ID species, perhaps the most difficult genus of gilled mushrooms is Cortinarius. The immense genus is currently being studied (in North America) and several new split-off genera have been proposed. I have no species suggestion for the one seen here.

Thank you, Dave. I am aware that a new one has just been recently been found in England not that far from where I roam, so I expect it would not be that rare, after all, to stumble on one that has not made it to the registers yet. Anyway, still a joy to make my acquaintance with this yet-unnamed little fellow.
