Girdled Knight
Girdled Knight - Tricholoma cingulatum
The cap is initially conical, expanding to a campanulate shape; pale or dark grey with a woolly/scaly surface. The gills are emarginate and also pale grey; the pale grey stipe has a ring near the top. The smell and taste are mealy.
There are many other grey Tricholoma, but without a well-defined ring
Photograph from top down, in side view, and from underneath to show gills and full lengh of the stipe, ensure your photo shows a ring.
