Nice I like it, I wonder is it flashlight with a softbox or something? Somehow the light is soft. Or is it just luck that it's very shadowy and dark behind the mushrooms?

Just lucky. The vignette might be enhaced, but I'm not sure. I seldom edit afterwards, since I have a rather hard time with that. Might've just been with the slightly pushed colors of my old Rebel T3.

It's the natural lightning of light woods at 4pm in September. Probably was a bit cloudy at that time. The ground was covered with a thick and surprisingly soft layer of green and everything looked like this:

And here's another mushroom (this one definitely without any workings in post):

Probably Russula emetica, in case anyone was wondering

Cheers! I often wish to be able to identify and differentiate mushrooms properly. Free food! For the original pic I tried and got 'close enough'. Very common stuff.

Being fatter than any in all thode reference photos probably doesn't count as an important property?

As you've surely learned from the other thread, correctly identifying is rarely clear cut. There can be all kinds of variations, so no within a certain margin, size would only be a hint at best.
