A good group you've discovered here with a nice assortment of sizes and showing the various stages of growth really well.
Perhaps the use of a polarizer may have been worth using here to try and minimize some of the reflected light on top of the caps,but without killing the 'wet' appearance which is so characteristic of this particular species.
Looks like the image would also benefit from a little additional sharpening too.
A fine group shot.

Hi Chris
What a cracking group and I think you have captured them very well - they certainly do have the appearance of porcelain!

5 repliesThanks to everybody who replied on my last post.
I went for another wonder in Epping forest today and came across these.
The techs were:
Nikon D2X, Sigma 150mm macro, 1/3rd sec at F10
C and C welcome
