Growing on an area cut regularly but never fertilised or manured. I have tentatively identified it as Panaeolina foenisecii but it may be a Mycena?

I’d agree it’s a Mycena. Any buried wood? Possibly M galericulata?

Check to see if has the smell of swimming pool (chlorine). M aetites would be my guess.

It wopuld be my guess too – they grow on nutrient-poor grassland.

Hello All,

When I went back to check for chlorine the fungi had gone. A new crop has now sprung up in the same place and the smell is just slightly earthy, no smell of chlorine.
