Red Fungi

Thanks gully.moy. I'm not confident with fungi ID (as a wrong ID can have terrible consequences!). It does seem slightly different from what I have been shown it should be. The colour doesn't appear as intense in the photo as it was in real life, which made it an incredible tiny thing to see amongst the browns & greys of the bush floor, & the gloss was also intense.

Thanks MacC! Also to David Leviston - I'm not positive with ID but the one shown in Jason Alexander's collection looks similar with similar ID suggestion made by you David?

It's a good suggestion thanks for taking the time to look at it for me DavidL, much appreciated. I'm still not sure as I have not found an image that exactly fits this one (if you know of one please let me know) - the stalk is almost hair-like thin & holds the cap, which is less than half a centimetre in diameter, quite high above the ground (about 5cm, close to 2 inches). I haven't seen any bigger than this so assume it may be as big as it gets? The photo doesn't do it justice, it is quite deep rich orange red in colour top & underside of cap & a darker crimson stalk.
