section 2: Shape of cap

In this section, we must select the shape of the cap. We can possibly cross-cut the mushroom in its middle into two symmetrical parts in order to see the shape. In case of doubt, choose "I don't know".
Examples:
           
The shape here is convex, therefore select "convex, fleshy or sub-spherical"     The shape here is almost flat, therefore select "expanded, flat or thin"     The shape here is rather "bell-shaped", select then "bell-shaped, conical or egg-shaped"     The shape here looks like a filled funnel, select then "depressed, funnel-shaped or infundibuliform"
