Little red riding hoods!
A gathering of Scarlet Hood Hygrocybe coccinea mushrooms. I have only found them once before, 5 years ago and in the exact same spot.
Waxcaps are usually quite moist fungi and thus the generic name Hygrocybe means 'water head' while the specific epithet coccinea means, believe it or not, 'bright red'.
