If you want to know more about fungi and how to take photos of them read the long bit of writing below. If you don't, have a nice day! 😀
You can do the same thing with Boletes and other similar shaped mushrooms.
Space and colour of gills can give you a better id of the species.
For polypores sometimes you can take a pic of just the top of it if you are sure of what species it is. If you are not sure you can always pull your mirror out and have a look at the pores underneath. Again microscopic photos can bring it down to a species level, but are not always needed.
It helps to get the pores for a better id of the species, just like with the gills.
