This small "mushroom" has been coming up in one of the beds. The spores

couple of dozen ranging in cap diameter from 2 to 4 cm, and up to 6 cm

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.

1. its not too early for some species and that is an important identifier
2. you obviously know the basics, so why not a picture of the stipe and
gills?

It rained a little last night and this morning, and they were already
going over a little, but this is the best of those remaining:

Does that help?
