Hi Richard,
can't help on the ID i'm afraid, but these two are very unusual and fascinating looking mushrooms, their colour is amazing. Like your POV and composition too.

Hello Richard,
south-east Costa Rica, and of course many other parts of the country, are a paradise for nature photographers. You captured this obviously small fungi probably in the forest understory under poor light conditions. In spite of f/2.8 and an exposure of 1/15 sec you achieve absolutely excellent sharpness. Congratulations!
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Richard
I shot the same species or very similar species in Thailand, its a Goblet Fungi (Cookeina sulcipes) a member of the Ascomycota division.

Yes I was going back to remember that you have visited these countries...it didn't look like anything I have seen at 40-50 latitude. Sharp picture but of course color dominates this one..or rather duo which was a nice thought to add.
