Re : Mollisia ¿¿ discolor--elegantior ??
A section would always be good in Mollisia, showing margin and middle part for excipulum and medulla, and marginal hairs. Important is to test KOH for the yellow reaction.
M. elegantior has didtinct marginal hairs. Maybe it is benesuada? But Apos too large?

Re : Mollisia ¿¿ discolor--elegantior ??
The brown hyphae are those of the subiculum (the anchoring hyphae). They are also worth to look at but important would be the marginal hairs. Sections with a razor blade are indeed not difficult (but require a bino).
The margo on your macro looks rather smooth, I would exclude elegantior which also has an inrolled margin.

Re : Mollisia ¿¿ discolor--elegantior ??
Yes! you have a rather pale margin and no hairs at all.
I would place it in or near M. benesuada
