Hygrocybe conica
Brightly colored mushroom in shades of yellow, orange and red. Fairly common in late fall on the Oregon Coast. Slimy when young, dries quickly with age or dry conditions. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/787...

Not edible as may be poisonous. 4 deaths in China are attributed to this beauty, which is often eaten as a hallucinogenic. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/787... for a more recent spotting
