    Peachysteve’s ID is spot-on.

    Your example, and habitat description given is very typical of Leratiomyces ceres – Redlead Roundhead.

    I actually spotted several of these less than a week ago growing amongst fallen decaying small twiggy debris, at Ainsdale Pine Woods (near Southport, Lancashire). – The archetypal “sandy pine forest” habitat for this species.

    That’s great, thank you! It’s the first one I’ve seen, it’s great to know the ID so I can research it more.

    Best Wishes,

    Rebecca
