| | | Stropharia?
Could this bright orange/red find be anything other than Stropharia aurantica? 
I also found a C nebularis just comming into flower  
Thanks

Yes it is S aurantica or yes it could be something else?
The Laccaria seems particularly prone to that malformation.

What is it growing out of? Is the dark stuff woody debris or dung? Psilocybe coprophila (on dung) is quite reddish. I don't think there are any reddish Psilocybe that grow on woody debris, in which case Stropharia aurantica looks a good bet.

Hi Mal,
Not much free time, as I am at the BMS foray in Suffolk all week, but the only other possibility this could be is Pluteus aurantiorugosus which I have found twice, but on both occasions had some yellow under the red on the cuticle 'trying to work it's way through' and I don't recall them being as lubricus as your specimen - so yes, I would agree with S. aurantica.
You could check the cheiocystidia, which are quite distinctive with Pluteus, but if it is Pluteus, the gills should soon be getting pink anyway as you know.
