This is a vermilion waxcap (Hygrocybe miniata), a very small and very red mushroom, as a fresh start of a new week of Colour Challenge photos:

Should be red enough 8-).
Very nice macros!
Thanks!
The color of certain mushrooms is stunning .... Beautiful picture
Thank you.
Very red, and very poisonous I would guess.
To my surprise, the books say "edible, but of no consequence".
This little guy with unusual red hat is a miracle of nature!
Thanks for your post, and steem on!
Amazing mushroom
The colour of the first mushroom is so striking against the contrasting green. As is the second against the duller grey brown. Textures are beautiful too. Really surprised it's edible though. 🌿🍄🌿
Wow. The colors of these mushrooms are amazing! Very well done!
Thanks.
