Re: Any idea?
We also need more info! The shape of the cap is not diagnostic. We need at least to see a view of the gills (to be able to make some guess at the spore colour). They might be in the Genus Inocybe, but I've nothing to go on except that the fungus has a brown, somewhat fibrillose cap.
You don't indicate where they were growing; if it's in the middle of a grassland it won't be an Inocybe....

Hello Bazz
see http://www.fungi.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=49#p237 Mycology is a difficult study for much of the time - I wonder how you even started to get "any form of ID" on just this evidence . . .

Re: Any idea?
I was wrong, it's a Cortinarius. As it's the largest Genus, with several hundred species in the UK, it is divided into Sub-Genera. With it's fibrous cap this may be in Sub Genus Leprocybe.
