Later stage. The winecaps in this colony were growing in a dry, partly sunny spot; all had cracked caps. The mushrooms whose images I uploaded last winter were in a much damper, darker environment. None of those had cracked caps at any stage.

These mushrooms tend to photograph much redder than they appear;should be more of a rich, beautiful red-brown.
