Cor!, they're bright John, never noticed such brightly coloured ones as this, maybe they've been out in the Sun too long :wink:
Well spotted.

Thanks again

Hygrocybe coccinea, locally known as the Scarlet hood!

Beautiful, really nice, and I'd agree, most likely Hygrocybe coccinea, also known as scarlet waxcap (scarlet hood is nice! - not heard that!). There are a few scarcer but quite similar species too.
