| | | Unidentified Fungi for ID please.
For a change I actually had a decent camera with me this evening, I came across hundreds of these little orange / beige fungi.  
With flash.  
Close-up shots  
Found in mossy pasture, and i'm guessing from the wax gill family so maybe Hygrocybe ceracea?
Cap in photo approx 2cm, fibrous stem and vivid orange against the grass.
Hope you like the pictures. 
Thanks in advance...

Hi Dave,
These are no doubt Laccaria, probably L. laccata. |

Thanks very much for the id, never even crossed my mind it would be Laccaria! I have only ever seen them in the woods, never in the middle of a field.
Deceived I have been indeed...

Yet another find in an open area with no trees 
I have always assumed these to be mycorrhizal, yet I too have found them growing with no trees around - just shows we have much to learn still about fungi.

. . . . . . . . . Hope you like the pictures. . . . . . . .
Dave. | the variation in colour is salutary - I often use flash (with care and checking the settings) but this is a good example of why FungiJohn is so cautious . . . . the flash images need(ed) correction
