It must be stressed that it is not possible to identify every fungus species from even the best picture. Some are just so similar that they can only be distinguished by microscopic examination or by dissection.It is always risky to identify a fungus based only on a photograph (except for the most common).
Many factors play a role such as shape and color of cap and stem, habitat, size, with or without ring, smell, growing solitary or in clusters, proximity to tree species, etc ...
Only microscopic examination of the spores (like I usually do) results in 100% certainty.
I guess the fungus in your shot is closely related to 4 or 5 possible species, but again, only the electron microscope knows the answer.
Sorry Norman, identification is not always that easy.
