These grew in a large group in the leaf litter of the Dell.
They had light vinaceous-grey caps, which turned white at the centre, and similarly-coloured stems.

On Day 12 (21 October 2023), I found this particularly photogenic specimen of Laccaria amethystina.
Its pinkish colour resembled Mycena rosea or other pink fungi, but it was found within a large group of L. amethystina, so I have assumed it it the same.
