Clusters of reddish-capped mushrooms growing from dead hardwood in late fall? Sounds like "brick cap," currently known as Hypholoma lateritium* when it occurs in the eastern United States. Very similar mushrooms probably produced by related but different species of fungi occur in Europe and Asia.

*Brick-colored, woven-edged
