Notes:
Found this with a group of hygrocybes under a young Douglas Fir. It’s 3 cm tall and the pileus, measured across, is 1.5 cm. Both pileus and stipe feel moist but not slimy. In my extremely limited experience, it seems like a hygrocybe but I can’t find anything that it remotely resembles in my references.

Pretty small thing, might be too young to do much with. But need a spore print, you might find the spore print is light brown/pinkish, and this is an Entoloma, not Hygrocybe.

It’s so young, I can’t even be sure of the spore color and I don’t recognize it. It could well be an Hygrophorus, but it could also be in a couple of other groups.
Hygrocybe irrigata or Hygrocybe unguinosa are a couple to look at for a match. Some authors synonymize them and others keep them separate.
