Can anyone identify what kind of mushroom this is for me? I would guess it falls into the hairy mushroom category, but could anyone elaborate on the scientific name?

It's hard to photograph, but the base is a dark/purplish with random dabs of bright teal throughout. The teal is what's most difficult to capture in a picture as it tends to wash out. Obviously, the tentacles or hairy parts or whatever they are called are orange.

Looks like Rhodactis indosinensis.
 
Ahh that's what I was looking for Rhodactis Inchoata. Although I'm not 100% sure on that either, I am pretty sure that it's not a Indosenensis. I just can't find any photos of Indosenensis with similar coloring. Thanks guys!!
