| | | hypholoma elongatum?
Found this small orange mushroom on boggy sphagnam moss amongst a forest of bracken.
the book says this is the ideal habitat for hypholoma elongatum    |

Until I just looked it up, I never realised H. elongatum is a heathland species.
I'm surrounded by Heathland so probably have come across this numerous times but dismissing it as an impossible Galerina sp.
Your specimen has quite a domed cap and although being a bit pale, I would say it is probably a small difficult Galerina

Interesting. I've no experience on this species nor have I seen any similar, but I have seen many a Hypholoma and it is structurally similar, if anyone can see what I mean. I've not a clue!  |

There are several similar species in this group in Hypholoma and from the picture it is difficult to say what you have here.

I googled hypholoma elongatum and lots of photos similar to this one came up 
Since my fungi book says this species grows on boggy heaths and this is where I found my mushroom and due to the similarity between google images and my image - h elongatum is probably the best choice  | | |
