These have appeared in the garden and I wondered should I be worried or
getting the frying pan out?

If they smell strongly of radishes, they may well be mycena-pura which
were re-classified as poisonous just before 1975, when my reference
was first published. Apparently mycena-pura come in all colours including
white as here, although those shown on the web seem to be the more typical
purple. Mycena Pura grow in humus, organic waste, rotting leaves and needles
in damp places.

There's a piccy half way down on this rather slow loading page.
The gills are much larger in relation to the size of the disc
but the overall features look the same.
