Spore print would help. I'm a big fan of spore prints

I really don't think they're laccaria laccata. The stems look a bit fat. But yes.....more pics and spore print and cross-section would help.

Viewing this on a tiny phone screen at a conference, but surely they're meadow wax caps?
Edit: Hygrocybe pratensis

What's the Latin for these? I found a big old fairy ring today - took some photos on my phone and can't download them

The botanical name for fairy ring mushrooms is Marasmius oreades.

Thanks. Pretty sure that's right then. I'll pop over and get them tomorrow afternoon.

just to add, the wax caps are quite underrated- we eat a lot of them round here (but only the common ones!)
