Hi, and welcome to UK Fungi.
With just one photo, no details as to physical size, and lack of other essential information, it is usually impossible to make any confident suggestions regarding species identification.
For future reference, if you have an ongoing interest in the subject, please take a moment to read http://www.fungi.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=49 HELP US TO HELP YOU TO IDENTIFY YOUR FINDS, to see the sort of information generally needed when trying to identify people's finds.
If you read that post, you will see that a lot of information can be required in order to obtain confident ID suggestions. - And much of that information wouldn't necessarily be obvious to someone new to fungi identification. Almost all of us will have found that out very quickly when we first started!
We appreciate that you might not always be able to obtain all the necessary information, but the more details that can be provided, the better your chances will be.
All that said, I do think that you are correct with your suggestion of Mycena.
From experience, as I have seen and photographed similar looking examples, I would suggest that they have the general looks of emerging Mycena arcangeliana (Angels Bonnet). e.g.: -
Your find may well be that species, but in the absence of more mature specimens having been confirmed in the immediate vicinity, and no chance of microscopy etc., that is really no more than a best guess based on the similar looks.
Regards,
Mike.
