Growing in leaf litter in broad leaf wood. Trooping group and scattered around. Cap 2-6cm, stem up to 4cm. Unpleasant smell. Officially the spore print should be white, so not sure why mine had a slight yellow tinge. ID is almost sure. Sporeprint White with slight yellowish tinge. Spores 4.5-7µ x 2.5-4µ.

Growing in soil in garden. One. Cap 4cm, height 4cm. Smell mushroomy, vegetative (potato?), slightly rotten. After cutting, sweet mushroom smell. Some kind of Dapperling. Could be Stinking Dapperling, although slightly off colour and smell not so stinky, but habitat is right. ID is possible.
