Thanks Christine. It grows from dead wood, so it's most likely Mycena haematopus.

Gorgeous mushrooms. I agree with Irena - they look like bleeding mycena. Could be Mycena sanguinolenta or Mycena haematopus? Do you know if they were growing in an area with conifers or hardwoods? Mycena haematopus grows in clusters on dead hardwoods, while Mycena sanguinolenta is more likely to grow in coniferous forests.
