What does the underside of the cap look like?

Apologies, I should have taken a picture but I was reluctant because the only way I could do so was by upending it.
Today I saw lots so felt OK about looking underneath - Deeply fluted, light beige under cap, white stem

@SRoss Hi, a good option is to take a mirror with you and you can then photograph the underside.

Probably one of the pink-spored species, with Volvopluteus a good guess.
