I am not entirely sure about this ID. I am trying to decide between this Clitopilus and the Clitocybe rivulosa. I was able to get a spore print, but it was not a lot. To me it looked white and not flesh colored, but because of the amount of spore deposit, I could have missed the color. The spore shape seems more like the description of the Clitopilus, which is why I am initially placing it here.
Found in the duff in a spruce cedar forest.

Cap was a pale gray and 2.5 cm. Growing solitary but close by each other, scattered.

Found by truffle dog Rye, one properly hypogeous with no stipe seen but there may have been a rudimentary one that was damaged during the dig. Other one was nearby and erumpent, but still found by Rye and shared the same aroma, so I am guessing they are the same species. I have collected them and kept them separate in case they are different.

Aroma pleasant, difficult to describe, somewhat fruity/fermented but not in an overpowering way.
