The smaller one had a very dark cap and the larger one a very pale one.

Impressive collection !.. I'll be back in a week when I've checked it out :-)
Yes, I usually post at least a few at: http://mushroomobserver.org/observer/obs...
I agree it's not ideal for ID - it's partly about the pic :-) Corts are a monster group. Thanks for the input. You obviously know fungi.. got some to share?
Tough to see the features in this particular image.
Possibly a Cortinarius species.
