    No idea on this one.
    I would think the dark gills would tell, but ...
    Note that the stipe is not cylindrical, kinda contorted. Is there a technical term for that?
    Also note it is hollow.
    Spore print forthcoming.

    I see a Cortina on one of the caps and the stature/color also indicate the genus Cortinarius. You can also see a fairly heavy brown spore deposit on the upper stem on one of those fruit bodies. We can easily get it down to subgenus (just went to a workshop on that) but beyond that, good luck. =)
