No lateral view showing absence or otherwise of prolegs, so from these photos alone: cannot be sure it is Geometridae.

Psathyrella echinata grows on wood, hence my suggestion from your images. However after looking at your suggestion you may well be correct with Melanophyllum haematospermum but without spore prints and possible micro examination I hesitate to go further.
