Just saw this record and Stylidium stood out as an exception with majority of Oenogenes fugalis on coronidium.

A Nordic fungal monograph includes the rarely found, yellowish species Tricholomopsis ossiliensis, that keys out in a final couplet alongside decora. That monograph allows five levels of gill spacing – very crowded, crowded, medium spaced, distant, very distant. In both species the gills are described as medium spaced and, for ossiliensis they are noted as adnate or with a short decurrent tooth. These two species are reported on decaying conifer wood and (according to GBIF, with the cf. decora of Tasmania and some environmental DNA from Thailand excluded) they have been reported only from the Northern Hemisphere. So, while I don’t think this is decora, the visual similarity prompted ‘decora group’ as a reasonable pigeonhole. I looked through NatureMapr’s unidentified agarics to see if there were any more sightings of this but didn’t find any.
