Hej Lasse I will let an expert (my mother :) ) take a look at this one in about a week. There are not that many fully red mushrooms this coarsely built in the Nordic countries. The Scarlet waxcap prefers lime-rich grasslands. This is an other one "Hygrocybe coccinea" that you can use as a reference for the ID suggestion. Swedish names: Sharlakansvaxskivling (ID suggestion) Blodvaxskivling (the reference in the text) Best regards Tina
