   The picture didn't seem overexposed, it looks like the normal colour   
   of Fuligo septica when it gets old and the yellow colour has faded.   
   It is sometimes a problem with most mushroom books, when they show the   
   mushrooms in their best recognizable and most beautiful stages.   
   But in most cases, it's no use to bother anyway, when a mushroom is   
   too young or to old to identify.

   No, but the search engines on the internet are getting better and   
   better at finding pictures. Through them, you can find lots of   
   variations and stages of a lot more mushrooms than in a book.
