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.
Ok i se i'll change it like you said,it's more scientific,,i dont haved spore print of this one
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...
