Field Notes

Description:

Not sure about the species, seems a bit yellowish for H. coccinea. It might be H. ceracea as well, but then the colour seems to red... Any suggestions?
It was found on mosses on sand dunes in autumn on the island of Vlieland. The hat is smooth and proximately 3 cm in diameter.

No, didn't take a spore print, so no help from that ;)
