Jelly Babies - Leotia lubrica
Often called "jelly babies", these small mushrooms have a very gelatinous/rubbery texture. The semi-translucent yellow caps were smooth and convoluted. Stems were yellow.
Habitat: They were growing in a cluster, on the ground, in a mixed forest. There was another (pink) mushroom growing along with them, but I don't know what it was.

''Leotia lubrica'', commonly referred to as a jelly baby, is a species of fungus in the family Leotiaceae. The species produces small fruit bodies up to 6 centimetres in height, featuring a "head" and a stalk.
