Default SOT - Fungus ID

This small "mushroom" has been coming up in one of the beds. The spores
might have come in with the woodchip/bark mulch. There are perhaps a
couple of dozen ranging in cap diameter from 2 to 4 cm, and up to 6 cm
high. The gills are tan to light brown, and there is a
barely-perceptible ring.; the stem is plain and off-white to cream They
have a slight smell - Marmite?

Perhaps it's a result of all that in rain in May, but it seems an
unusual time for a mushroom to appear. Anyone know what it is? I thought
it might be a Lepiota or Pholiota, but those are autumnal. The top of
the cap is a bit like a Sepia Bolete, but the underside and stem are not
right, and it's too early.
