Lepista nuda (aka Blewit). The spore print should be a pinkish/salmon colour.

That was my suspicion but the lack of purple coloration me wonder. I haven't collected these before. Are you 100% sure on the ID? There are loads more our there but I don't want to pick em unless positive...

The purple tends to fade with partial drying or aging, leaving the pink and tan colors. The smell when fresh is pretty telling.

Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it. If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

Its a blewit, I think there are other blewits besides C. nuda to consider too though, but maybe they're just faded.

They definitely look like blewits but the sprore print will confirm the ID.
Some Cortinarius look a likes may grow in the same habitat as C. nuda, but Cortinarius species should present a rusty brown spore print (and sometimes have partial veil remnants).
In doubt you can always post some pics of them here

I'm pretty sure its not a Cort, but yea a spore print would demonstrate that better.

I agree with the other guys but you could always spore print them to be 100% and that would rule out Cortinarius which is pretty much the only lookalike to Blewits.

I know it isn't, I was saying that on the same habitat there could grow Corts, regarding his statement:
