Unknown fungi

 Can anyone ID this for me, I'm useless at fungi.
Growing in our south facing front garden in grass, there are a number of
them coming up and this is the oldest. A large Robinia pseudoacacia tortuosa
was cut down nearby about a month ago.

It looks like it could be a Chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius) or
Pleurotus cornucopiae a member of the Oyster mushroom family.  It also
resembles the Faux Chantrelle (Hygrophoropis aurantiaca), not a very
nice mushroom at all!  If I am unsure of my mushrooms, I take them to
my elderly neighbour for identification.

It is so warm here that I am still picking mushrooms.  Today I picked
a few Amethyist deceiver (Laccaria amethystea) which will make a good
omelette tomorrow for lunch.  I still have an awful lot to learn but I
am enjoying foraging in my fields and in the woods.

On another Ng some are saying it's one of the Armillaria species, probably
A. gallica or A. cepistipes. However I've looked at pictures of those on the
net and they don't seem too similar to me. Not that I know anything.
Clicking on the thumbnails will give a bigger picture.

I've added some more photos, just taken, to the set...

The cap and stem feel like a normal edible mushroom and the smell of the
broken one is a nice mushroomy smell, quite pleasant.

Rozites  caperatus?  aka Pholiota caperata, aka Cortinarius
caperatus. It seems to have a veil, and looks like the one
in Roger Phillips' book.
