Verdigris mushrooms, when they first emerge, the colour on the cap is stronger and continous over the entire cap. Usually fades to something like this after they have been out some time. Only a short while needed if there is heavy rain. I don’t remember ever before seeing ones where the surface of the cap has fragmented, leaving the cap dappled with colour.

Japanese acer, windy autumn day, West Park
The vivid autumn leaves of one of the Japanese acers in West park, seen on a bright, windy day. From a distance, the tree seemed to have keps all its leaves. Closer, it could be seen that all had been brought down except the ones at the ends of the branches.
As the gusty wind whipped the leaves about, they looked hypnotic.
