it is Cortinarius camphoratus. i checked for english names Goat cheese webcap or webcap camphor, Rotting potatoes... it is common enough here but not in large numbers. as the names suggest the smell is useful in identifying. but also the cortina or veil. the fibrils on the stem (and cap) are clearly visible if you zoom in on the photo.
if you are out looking for edible ones, this is one of those types that are easy to pass by without thinking about it
Thanks for the ID I'll be checking if it grows in my area, it looks pretty cool. Looks like there is a version of it here called Cortinarius iodes with a purple cap with spots on it. I've only seen it once way up north.
my photo with the bent stem is not exactly typical
Yeah that made it look really exotic compared to the more normal occurrences of them.
