Growing in oak / beech woods in Pembrokeshire.
Diameter 55mm. Smell slightly antiseptic.
Gills slightly decurrent
I'm thinking Gymnopilus sp?
Was towards end of foray and were rushing a bit.
Medium brown agaric

Can't help Adam, no trees to speak of here. It does have the look of a Cortinarius though.
