I went hunting with the dog this morning. It rained, but we were in pretty heavy understory, so we didn't get too wet. We found this large yellow mushroom (3 or 4 of these in one area) and my guide (Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest) almost matches this exactly for Stropharia ambigua. The guide even mentions the edge often being hung with white veil remnants. Here's a link to an image of this same species:

Galerina marginata (Batsch) Khner, syn.: Galerina autumnalis (Peck) A.H. Sm. & Singer, Galerina unicolor (Vahl) Singer, Pholiota marginata (Batsch) Qul.Funeral Bell, DE: Gift-Hubling, Nadelholz-HublingSlo.: obrobljena kumicaDat.: Nov. 9. 2016Lat.:46.36118 Long.: 13.70112Code: Bot_1028/2016_DSC6439Habitat: pasture, slightly inclined mountain slope, southeast aspect; colluvial, skeletal, calcareous ground; full sun, dry and relatively warm place; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 625 m (2.050 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: moss overgrown stump of a cut down Picea abies in its late phase of disintegration.Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, right bank of river Soa; Na Melu place, near cottage Trenta 2b, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments: This mushroom usually appears in older literature as Galerina autumnalis. But extensive DNA study (Gulden and collaborators, 2001) has synonymized that species - along with Galerina oregonensis, Galerina unicolor, and Galerina venenata - with the older, European species first described in the 18th century, Galerina marginata. The mushroom is deadly poisonous (look at English common name). Growing in a loose group of about 15 pilei; pilei diameter 1.4 - 4.0 cm (measured as it is, not expanded), surface lubricous-waxy; stipe 4.0 - 6.2 cm long, diameter 2.8 - 7.8 mm, hollow, fibrous; taste not tested, smell indistinctive, on soil? SP abundant, rusty-brown, oac713.Spores minutely verrucose. Dimensions: 7.6 [8.5 ; 8.9] 9.8 x 5 [5.5 ; 5.7] 6.2 microns; Q = 1.4 [1.5 ; 1.6] 1.7; N = 40; C = 95%; Me = 8.7 x 5.6 microns; Qe = 1.5. Basidia 4-sterigmate and also 2-sterigmate. Cystidia lageniform, with a long neck and a rounded or subclavate apex; smooth; thin-walled; dimensions: 38.4 [44.5 ; 48.1] 54.1 x 8.5 [10.1 ; 11] 12.5 microns; Q = 3.4 [4.2 ; 4.7] 5.5; N = 19; C = 95%; Me = 46.3 x 10.5 microns; Qe = 4.4.
