need more specimens complete at different stages of growth ;they could be Deceivers ,Laccaria laccata, these look a bit shot . |

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. |

to get a spore print ,put specimen gills down on white paper put a glass over it ,leave for 6-8 hrs ,and obtain a spore print!!! |

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  |

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