I think, this is a mycena. The peculiarity is that thisovary of a fungus is also affected by a mycena parasite, and is affected from the inside. This mycena parasite is a pin fungus that develops inside the cap and then breaks through. It is characterised by upright spore carriers, that are simple in structure, brown or yellowish-brown in colour and have branched aerial filaments carrying the zygospores. You can see those here.
Boss over boss, in other words.
The mycena is kept out of focus, but the spores are sharply visible. The hat itself is illuminated with a light, so that the top and the inside light up.
I thought that was an artistic effect.
