FOTD #081 : shaggy ink cap! (coprinus comatus)
the shaggy ink cap (also called lawyer's wig or shaggy mane) is an inkcap fungus in the family agaricaceae. it is famous for its pitch-black spore-filled ink !! it is said to often grow in "unexpected" places, & has been recorded in south africa, europe, north america, aotearoa & australia. it is also carnivorous :-)
(learn about carnivorous fungi or the process of deliquescence)
the big question : can i bite it??
yes !! the mushroom is edible when young / before deliquescence.
c. comatus description :
"the shaggy ink cap is easily recognizable from its almost cylindrical cap which initially covers most of its stem. the cap ranges from 4–8 cm (1+5⁄8–3+1⁄8 in) in width & 6–20 cm (2+3⁄8–7+7⁄8 in) in height. it is mostly white with shaggy scales, which are more pale brown at the apex. the free gills change rapidly from white to pink, then to black. it is deliquescent. the white & fairly thick stipe measures 6–40 cm (2–16 in) high by 1–2.5 cm (1⁄2–1 in) in diameter & has a loose ring near the bottom."

"Pants feelings" is not a formal phrase and really doesn't need to be written in any mission report, regardless of the accuracy of the assessment.

Game: Final Blow (Arcade)
This subpar boxing game was ported to Genesis in 1990 but was rebranded as James “Buster” Douglas Knockout Boxing when it came to the US and Europe, only a few months after Douglas’ famous upset victory against Mike Tyson that same February. If there’s a better example of “Genesis Does What Nintendon’t”, I’d like to see it.
