Brilliant !! This looks like it may be M. pterigena, but in Fungi of Switzerland it says it is associated with dead ferns.

I may have got carried away and it may only be Mycena sanguinolenta

Sorry Neil
This is definitely not pterigena. Pterigena is as it says in the book found on the stems of last years ferns and is a tiny thing. It is pastel pink with a darker pink edge to the gills



Now they have been found on leaf litter I still think capillaripes is the most likey or possibly rubromaginata. (Unless it bleeds dark red milk then sanguinolenta)

It always pays to go back to the beginning of a thread - dumbo me did not do that in this case and excitability got the better of me.

Yes, I guess you are probably right Mal.
