A Beautiful coloured Mycena. If it is M. purpureofusca, I see from the BMS database that it will be only the second record for England as there is one record for Yorkshire and all the rest are from Scotland. An exceptional find.

Thanks Pauline. It was only on closer examination I noticed it was something a little different!
