Growing amongst moss in the upper hollow of a decaying stump so I could not get a lower angle or get a mirror in there, the images somewhat resemble those for Galerina hypnorum

Undoubtedly a Galerina. A common species in overseas books is Galerina hypnorum, and there is a moss genus called Hypnum. However here, as I've seen many times in "Galerina in moss" photographs, the background is mostly a leafy liverwort (with a bit of lichen on the right)!
