ID Request, Southern California (Possibly too dry)

Habitat: Grew in a small patch in a thick grassy lawn. About eight feet away from possible wood chips used to fill a hole 5 years ago. A small dog poops on the lawn, but it wouldn't have made it through the grass before being picked up.
Gills: Crowded white gills when fresh, same color as cap when dry. I don't think they're attached to stem.
Stem: 5-9cm. long, .5cm diameter; White/tan (brown after 5 hours in a bag); Hollow; Flexible, tough to pull apart; Base was much thicker and stayed white.
Cap: 1-2cm diameter; Convex with "nipple" on top, slight inward bend on bottom; Dull brown, similar color to a coconut shell; Vertical indentations, soft when dry, slimy when wet.
Spore print color: Sorry, I couldn't make one.
Bruising: Brown/black I believe
Other information: They had a pretty noticeable scent. Not pleasant or unpleasant. I can't think of any comparison. It's been raining quite a lot lately. They seemed to grow and die very quickly. I only ever found one that was slightly fresh.

No fresh specimens, no id

Possibly "The weed of the North American mushroom world, in my opinion; it is everywhere, all the time. Its distinguishing features include its greasy, tawny or tan cap; its attached, crowded, white gills; the absence of a partial veil; and its white spore print--but it fools you, again and again. I don't know how many times I have stooped over to examine something that looked interesting . . . only to discover that, once again, it was just Gymnopus dryophilus, posing as something interesting.
A large number of Gymnopus and Rhodocollybia species look for all the world like Gymnopus dryophilus on casual observation. For help sorting these mushrooms out, see the key to collybioid mushrooms--or, if you are comfortable separating Rhodocollybia butyracea from Gymnopus dryophilus but you would like to fine tune your species concepts within the "Gymnopus dryophilus group," see the table and comments below."

Yeah, this is a tough one. My best guess is that it's either an old Coprinopsis (they are so common up here in Nor Cal and come up just about everywhere) or old Mycena or Psathyrella. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley.
