AlexKonig, thankyou .... sometimes it's very hard to make a decision on which pic should we put as the main one. Should we present it as an artistic material that pleasant to the eyes or an image that has details for easy ID the specimen. Decision .. decision ... decision .... :)

Hi LarsKorb, thankyou for the direction - when it comes to fungi, I am blank :). When I googled Mycena, this one came up, Cruentomycena viscidocruenta (Mycena viscidocruenta) - Ruby Bonnet - do you think it's the right one?
