The toadstool stands out well from the brown leaf litter and the shooting angle works well.
A couple of suggestions for improvement would be a small crop off the bottom,as already mentioned,perhaps to just above the light coloured foreground leaf.
Also,and I find it hard to accurately tell at this small size,but it looks as though you could have done with just a fraction more depth of field,so as to keep the front edge of the cap totally sharp.
A nice autuminal shot though of a great subject.

I was beginning to feel a bit left out as I hadn't posted a Fly Agaric yet, so here are my efforts from Epping Forest this morning.
The techs were:
Nikon D2X, Sigma 150mm Macro, 1/20th sec at F7.1, beanbag and a little helper to remove the twigs!

Nice image - minor nits I do find the lighter bits in the BG a little distracting and I would maybe crop a tad off the bottom!
