Hygrocybe ID please

[stripee]

Unfortunately, the slugs have had a good go. The stem is bright yellow. I can't work out from books whether it is H.punicea. Usually I see quite a lot of wax cap fungi on this grassy bank, but this year there haven't been many so far.

It does not look like any Hygrocybe punicea I have seen. The colour's are all wrong.

The orange and yellow colours and the moist cap suggest H. conica and H. aurantiosplendens. I suppose H. quieta should also be a possibility. The orange rules out H. chlorophana.

What size were they? what was the stem texture? H. conica has a fibrous stem. I suppose the lack of blackening does suggest H. conica is unlikely.

H. aurantiosplendens is much bigger than H. conica, though I sometimes see huge H. conica outside my place of work.

I would not like to be any more definite than the above ramblings given your photo.
