That's ok Paula :cool2:

Was the path soil or wood chippings/bark?

I am completely stuck on this one. The colour is throwing me and i cannot find it as yet so any help would be really appreciated. Growing on a mossy stump, possibly birch or beech, in mixed woodland.

Hmmmm you've really got a weird one there Dave! :thinking:

It's very pretty.. .but tricky!

Usually I'd think very red ones are Hygrocybe sp. but that would be on open grassy ground....

I have checked through my small guide and the only small red vague possibility there was Cortinarius sanguineus but that prefers coniferous woods....

It looks a bit like a mycena - Mycena haematopus - looks a little bit similar in a few pictures on the web - but also looks very dissimilar to a lot of the pictures out there also purporting to be Mycena haematopus.... it's so confusing!

LINK showing photos a little similar to your mystery species (admittedly its in California)

Rogers Mushrooms say it is found in Europe - but in his photos they look the completely wrong colour.

The common names for M. haematopus are Burgundydrop Bonnet or The Blood-Foot Mushroom which makes you think it really should be bright red.

There are a couple of very bright red Mycena that grow in Australia / NZ - but not Europe. Mycena ura or Mycena viscidocruenta.

Do you have any other angles? - my best guess so far is Mycena haematopus.
