Habitat:

Urban. Growing out of well-irrigated grass near some deciduous trees.  Corporate park in San Jose, CA, USA.  Around 70 degrees in a shaded courtyard among tall office buildings.

Gills:

Seem to be attached.  Tan brown and tissue is very fragile.

Stem:

Around 1/4" in diameter and maybe 3" in length.  White.  Seemed hollow, thin, and delicate. 

Cap:

1 1/2" in diameter.  Muted light brown.  Very smooth and moist.  Plane in shape, but flaring at the margin.  Noticed it was transparent.  See pic.

Spore print color:

Definitely black, but having a slight violet tinge to it. 

Unsure on this because I tend to see more color in things than other people.

Bruising:

Seems to bruise faintly yellow brown on the stem.

Other information:

Faint smell of indeterminate character.

Tried my best to key this out to a faint suggestion, but didn't feel confident about the process!  I would appreciate any help!  Let the wisdom rain!

Thanks!  I just scanned Arora's introduction to the genus. . . I love how blunt he is about the banality of some genera he has keyed out!
