Gully.moy, checked these out, but they all seem to be growing on the ground. This one was found deep inside a rotting tree trunk. I only found it when I broke off part of the trunk by mistake. Inside the wood was all crumbling.
Looks like a Waxcap (Hygrocybe species), but given the habitat maybe their wood-loving cousins the Woodwaxs (Hygrophorus) are more likely... Something like Hygrophorus nordmanensis/capreolarius?
