Growing on rotted leafmould. Several scattered around. Cap 2-5cm. Mealy smell I think. Habitat isn't quite right for The Miller, but it fits in every other respect. Unfortunately forgot to get a specimen, so no spore picture. ID is very likely.

Growing in grass under oak. Several. Cap 3-4cm of mature specimens. No smell. Tough stem, much thicker at top, hairy at bottom. This really does look like a waxcap but I can't pin it to any particular species. Small and large specimens must be the same species as they have identical spores. Spores are a bit curious - round and warty. Sporeprint white. Spores 7-9µ x 6-8µ.
