Unknown mushroom
ecology and location
I have encountered this mushroom on an old stump of oil palm tree in decay. It was in DRC, in the equatorial part of the country.
Characteristic
As you can see, it is a medium size mushroom (cap of around 5 to 8 centimetres of diametre).
Its caracteristic is the cap with a strongly curled inward ; when young, it is covered with a thick matting of hairs, forming a veil-like structure that partly covers up the gills.
The picture
The picture was taken in the morning when the sky was overcast. With a sensitivity equivalent to ISO-200 and an apperture of f/8, the speed was 1/30.
Post treatment
Recropping and resizing ; improvement of the gamma and the sharpness with Olympus studio. Improvement of the pixellisation with neat image.

What an interesting mushroom! Good picture! Thank you very much for sharing it. Saludos.
Hi Philippe,
It cannot be any Lactarius, because species of that genera are growing on the ground, never on decaying wood, and in symbiosis with a living tree. From photo I don't know what it might be, microscopic analysation must be done. Fabulous composition and sharpness, however. Best regards, László
