Clitocybe Aeruginosa?

Found under conifers. No anise smell- instead the smell was not unlike that of pan foes (which i've seen accurately described as nutty, fungal, and slightly unpleasant). Blue-green cap lined at the edges with black (not sure if its veil remnants or what). Gills and stem white, with the stem discoloring slightly yellow near the base upon handling.
Spore print pending- I'll post if possible but as I leave town in not long, I'm unsure as to whether or not this will happen.
Thank you and have a good night.

Clitocybe odora was my best bet.

What do you think about the complete lack of the anise odor? The spore print is also pure white (when printed on white paper it can only be seen with a bright light being shone on it). I neglected to mention it was found in Rhode Island.
I can't find a detailed description of C. Aeruginosa anywhere, but I've seen mentioned that it is mainly separated from C. odora by the lack of anise odor and the white spores (as opposed to pink-cream in C. odora).
Here is the print on a black background:

It might just have lost that. I certainly don't mean that you're wrong, just it was my best bet.

thank you for your help! I agree that Clitocybe Odora seems more likely but I'm confused by the spore print and smell, but also since I don't have a full description of c. Aeruginosa I can't even say I think it's that. I'm just looking for general opinions. I'm gonna head over to the brown university library this afternoon to try to get some info since they have a large collection of mycology books and hopefully I can find some information on separating blue-green clitocybes from one another.
Have a good night (:

The white spore print is right in any case. The Bigelow monograph on these may shed light. According to this (which additionally mentions C. gleucoalba) the odour is key. So you may well be right imo.

The kind people on mushroom observer were able to dig up some resources and gave info suggesting C. Glaucoalba, in case anyone is interested.
