Amethyst Deceivers

I went for a wonderful walk with H this morning on Kelling Heath. There was a lot of fungi around as per my Extra collage. My main photo is of a mushroom I've not seen before, an amethyst deceiver (great name!). H spotted them and pointed them out and as they were under the trees, I couldn't initially see them. Has anyone else noticed that uploading photos is slow since a recent Windows upgrade?
