If you want a confident more specific name I would suggest collecting specimens, drying them (Quickly!) and then try contacting Europe-coprinologist at mushroomobserver.org.

I should clarify that this is not necessarily C. micaceus, there is more than one species in sect. Micacei, see the key, I would need to see microscopy to distinguish them personally...
