Thanks, I'm sure that's what you said at the walk and I misremembered. I'm going with this over X. campanella b/c it was growing as a loosely scattered group on redwood twigs and not in dense clumps directly on a rotting trunk or stump, which seem to be the main distinguishing features according to MD, MO, and Kuo: http://mushroomexpert.com/xeromphalina_campanella.html http://mushroomobserver.org/name/show_name/431 http://www.mushroomexpert.com/xeromphalina_cauticinalis.html http://mushroomobserver.org/name/show_name/533

Presumably M. sequoiae, but it seems more orange, and the cap less striate than many pics of this species. I admit to saturating this a bit, but it was pretty orange. Growing on a twig in an area with many redoods, though also a couple oaks.
