A tiny mushroom, the diameter of the cap is about 1 cm.
Netherlands, Heath Fields of Bussum, Sept. 2012

Couldn't find this one in my mushroom guide, but MargNZ suggested Witch-hat waxgill (Hygrocybe conica). Thank you Margaret!

That's a little beauty..needs to be seen in full size to appreciate all the detail, including the drops of water falling from the cap:)

Did you put a pot of paint over it and let it drip down, beautiful but strange mushroom!!

The world of mushroom's is fascinating ... great photo Peter.
I wonder if this is a Witch-hat waxgill ( Hygrocybe conica ) ?

I think you are right Margaret!
I checked a number of sites and http://healing-mushrooms.net/archives/hygrocybe-conica.html presents an image which is quite close to the one in the picture. So let us call it the Witch-hat waxgill!
I will add it in the caption.
