Brownedge Bonnet - Mycena olivaceomarginata

A very variable grassland Mycena, with a brownish cap that may have pinkish, olive or yellowish tinges.  The gills are grey and usually have an edge coloured the same as the cap; sometimes only the gill edge closest to the margins si coloured.   It has a nitrous or radish-like smell. 

Several other grassland Mycena are similar; however the brownish gill edge should help identification
