Forgot, has a white spore print..
Hi, thanks for such a detailed description! I think this is the tawny funnel, Paralepista flaccida. Everything you mention points to it: the orange-brown funnel-shaped caps, the crowded gills running down the stem, the white spore print, the fused stems and the sweet fruity smell.
Thanks, that's my guess but the really powerful smell was throwing me... maybe I've never smelt one before..🤔
