Hypholoma sublateritium
The cap is 3.5–10cm in diameter, usually with a brick-red coloration in the center and a paler margin. It is smooth, sometimes with red-brown flecks in the middle and sometimes with flaky veil remnants, which can easily be washed off in the rain, on the outside. The gills are crowded, starting yellowish and becoming grayish with age. They do not have the green color of Hypholoma fasciculare. The stipe is light yellow and darker below.

Beautiful!!
I think you are right, thanks fo the ID! In our area we also have H. fasciculare but they look more yellow in the cap.
Cute ones, Marta :) As for the ID, they look a lot like young brick tufts (Hypholoma lateritium ) to me.
