I'd go for a Hypholoma or immature Leratiomyces - but all with the white scales having disappeared (but it seems strange for all to have disappeared).

There seems to be a couple of remnant white scales on the front edge of main image and a little hint of colour on right side of stipe at base so I'd go for Leratiomyces
