Lol. I think I saw the reference image you used for the inky one when I was looking for ref. XD
Cool! I think this is the reference I used (http://media.techeblog.com/images/inky-cap-mushroom.jpg). I think these mushrooms looked cool ^^;
Now that I see your ref, I think I may have seen a different image; but looks like the same type. That's soo wierd! It's amazing to see all the varieties of mushrooms God made. I found a page with a ton of super interesting mushrooms when looking for ref yesterday: https://www.sunnyskyz.com/blog/1073/31-Magical-Photos-Of-Mushrooms-That-Will-Leave-You-In-Awe.
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
