Not a Collybia, Collybias only grow on other rotting mushrooms.

Maybe a Gymnopus?

It would really help to know the spore print color!

It's not a gym, that much is certain. Gymnopus seems more likely.

Take a picture under natural daylight conditions. A flash will mess up the colors.

Vanilla is consistent with gymnopus.

If you want to take a pic, either scan the print or photograph it. I'm sorry to disagree with GK, but I'd rather use flash, since that won't fuck up the camera's white balance. With daylight, the chance of that happening and the colors getting messed up is much greater (unless you really know what you're doing...)

Ok, I know you know a lot more about photography than I do, so listen to koraks, people, not me. I just know that I am always unhappy with the colors that I get from pictures where I use a flash on my Nikon. Almost NEVER fits the real color range. I might have really shitty eyes, though. :lol:

Ah, well, you actually _did_ make me realize that my advice may turn out for the worse in real life, since the flash of a compact camera often has a major disadvantage at close range: overexposure. If that happens, try to find a north-facing window and use its light to shoot the pic. An overcast sky will do fine as well. Bright sunlight, as well as morning- or evening light and light from most artificial sources (bulbs, fluorescents), however pleasing they may seem, are unfit for truthful color rendition.

Also, flash doesn't balance nicely with warmer shades of available light, such as light from incandescents and sunsets. In such cases, putting a warming filter in front of your flash may help, or use very subtle fill flash (flash exp. compensation of -1.5 or -2 stops). But I'm getting carried away now... :wink:

Anyway, a flatbed scanner will work just fine as well :thumbup:

Looks like a colorless (white) spore print. Next time use a piece of tinfoil. That's actually much better for a white spore print.
