With just this photo, it may be difficult. It would help a lot to also see the gill arrangement, as well as the stem area just below the cap. I've run into this similar situation before, only to be told by a ranger biologist that the simple side view image only narrows things down a small bit. Mushrooms and fungi are one of the largest groups in the biological world.

My fault.

Thank you for the information, I will do better the next time. (I hope)
