I love seeing these mushrooms..Here I have to wait until the fall season and then I will hopefully find some nice sightings..Belgium is humid but this year we had an unusual good dry weather in May, which means less mushrooms :-)
Thanks!
Good photo!
I was thinking they were Mycena but the bell shape threw me off. If they are bell shaped when young though, then this probably is Mycena. Thanks Gina.
I think its Mycena leaiana, if I am righ, its a very few members of mycena. Bell-shaped when young, sticky to slimy when wet. Orange colour fades with age.
