I strongly suspect this is a Cruentomycena (albeit partly dried an no longer with the gluey, gelatinous coating when in prime condition), but some species of Hygrocybe can be similar. Can you remember if these mushrooms were growing on the leaf & twig litter or were they definitely coming out of the soil. In the photos I can't see the bases of the stems.

As you'd guess from my previous comment, this sighting is now labelled as Cruentomycena on the basis of high probability.
