Good, you have the advantage of seeing the actual item, we have only a poor photograph. The best thing to do if taking pictures of mushrooms for identification is:
(1) remove the whole thing, including the base of the stem
(2) after taking photos of it whole, cut it in half vertically and take a photo of the section. This is especially useful as it enables us to see the form of the gills, which is often a critical identification feature.
