Growing in pine needles. Small group. Cap 1-2.2cm, stem 5-9cm. Slight musty smell. Rather shaky identification based on small spore size, but could easily be another Mycena. ID is wild guess. Sporeprint White. Spores 5-7.5µ x 4-5µ.

Growing in pine needles. Small group of four. Cap 4-8cm, stem up to 6cm. Little smell, perhaps earthy. Look like small lumps of dough! Stems flattened and hollow. Tricky to identify this. It's common but I've not noticed it before and the book says it's very variable in appearance. The small round spores make it likely. ID is fairly likely. Sporeprint White. Spores 3.5-5.5µ x 3-4.5µ.

Growing in deciduous wood through leaf litter. Several scattered around. Cap 9-14cm, stem 10-14cm. No smell. Foolishly I didn't cut the stem. If it turns yellow at the base then it's a Yellow Stainer, although I have before found old ones that didn't go yellow. ID is very likely. Sporeprint Dark chocolate brown. Spores 4.5-6.5µ x 3.5-5µ.
