Washington spring hunt. Need some help with this one.

Ok everyone. This is the super bummer for the moment. I don't have pictures, but I'm working on getting some decent ones using an old camera I burrowed from a neighbor. I'll try to post some up as soon as I get a few tht are clear enough.
Habitat: Found growing in a grass field with moss and some clover. Seemed to only grow in the clover/moss, and not really the grass. About 500' in elevation, east facing slope.
Gills: Brown/cinnimon in color, darker towards the margin. Not attached to stem. Larger gills come very close to the stem, but smaller ones in between only go about half way up the cap.
Stem: Anywhere from about 1"-2.5" long, about 1/16th"-1/8th" in diameter, light brown in color at the top and a lighter shade towards the base. Fragile, hollow, and lacks an annulus. No bruising noted at this moment.
Cap: about 1/2"-1" in diam. Light brown in color. Glistening when wet, but becoming a lighter tan color when drying. Cap is striate when wet with what seems to be a slight seperable pellicle. Hygrophanous, fragile cap, convex in shape with a slight umbo on most of the younger caps, becoming more plane with age.
Spore print color: Still working on getting a nice print, but the lighter ones are a light, cinnamon brown color.
Bruising: none noticed yet.
I can't really find any pictures that look like it, or an id that fits, but I've only been home for a few minutes. I'll post some pictures as soon as I can (working on getting some tha are in focus and clear righ now) I wanna say that it's a Conocybe sp. but I can't find any of my field guides (I hate moving) Thanks in advance for any help.

I thought about conocybe, but it's hard to tell. Galerina seems to match some aspects, but not with other characteristics, but I'm leaning that way for the moment. Seems close to Galerina badipes, but still can't find any of my field guides to back up any claims That I may have

Since its in moss must be Galerina, but also looks a little like Conocybe, post some micrographs please, especially the cheilocystidia and pileipellis.
