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."

Fungi February: The shaggy mane must be cooked or frozen quickly lest deliquescence turns its cap into a bitter goop. They grow well on disturbed ground, so they often show up where they're least expected, like the green areas of towns.
Disclaimer: Don’t rely on pictures of cute mushrooms with eyes to accurately identify edible mushrooms. At best the wrong one will taste bad, at worst it’ll be deadly!

The patch of shaggy manes (Coprinus comatus) by the barn decided to get an early start this year; I'm hoping that's a good sign for the fall mushroom season, after last year was so disappointing. These three ended up as a quick saute because I am hustling around trying to get packed to leave for Portland first thing in the morning because I have classes and more classes over the next few days. But it was a really nice treat amid all the busy-ness!

i've been entertaining myself by taking some before and after pics of fungi around the area. this is a shaggy mane, Coprinus comatus, and the pictures are taken less than 24 hours apart. they're also called ink caps, along with some other mushrooms that look exactly the same to my untrained eye and used to be in the same genus but are apparently not even in the same family. i've never made a single attempt to understand fungus taxonomy and i'm not going to start now

this is a different individual, but a nice example of the "intermediate" stage between the innocent baby popsicle and the withered inky mess in the two pictures above. these things are so short-lived that they're notorious for straight up dissolving shortly after being picked by foragers so it was fairly lucky timing on my part
