That's a beautifull fungus! Join my mission and help my company to map all the mushrooms! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/12737550
Laccaria are definetely the right way, Alex - and I found the ID, though it's not tortilis. It's Laccaria proxima with a darker stem.
Thanks, Elsa. I am always glad if the objects are somehow undamaged (not too clean though - i love it when it shows authenticity, when it lives) - generally you can turn any object into a nice composition. Mushrooms are perfect fr that: symbolic for woods and it's always a still. Plus, woods always provide with a nice set - any time of year, any weather condition.
Great shot, love the composition in no.1 :)
about the white edge, there is one to see on the second picture. and the gills could be discolored because of the rain. looks a bit wet. these gills are not really brown, they are creme/rose. but when you dont think, it could be ---> take a look at laccaria tortilis (sorry about the late reply. my explorer was doing weird)
I am not sure about your suggestion, Alex - the lilac bonnet has got a white edge on the cap and the gills are pale. My spotting is missing the bright edged cap and has brown gills.
