Yvonne's Comments

They keyed out to

Psathyrella rubiginosa

but

this isn’t on the British list?

I’ve been
through the key a few times and can’t get it to anything else. This group is
notoriously difficult so I can’t really be sure. I have dried the specimens.

I used the Malcolm Greaves’ on-line key to identify the Scutellinia

it was

which describes it well I think !
