Potentially R. curiosissimum. Found in disturbed gravel car park.

Phyllid is deeply plicate as seen in 4th and 5th image. The 6th and 7th image are potentially the decurrent alar cells present in this species. Image 8 and 9 show how the phyllid changes into the hyaline acumen in different styles. In 10 and 11 note the lack of papillae. 12 showcases the prominate sinuose cells

I do not think it is R. pruinosum as the hyaline tip is not papillate in any way.
