Dear Satisg ji,
The mushroom in the picture has a tough wiry stipe which is never found in
the genus Mycena . It has smooth, hollow fleshy stem.
Wiry stipe is a character of Marasmius . I think this is *Marasmius
pulcherripes *due to its size and morphology.

So, this flower agrees with the description of Cardamine subumbellata
in having 6 stamens. The description of the fruit also agrees well. I
have no doubt about this plant being Cardamine subumbellata.
