Fungi February: The mica cap must be cooked quickly to halt the deliquescence that happens upon picking. It contains compounds that may be antibacterial and may inhibit enzyme activity in chemo-resistant cancer cells (support your mycologists and biochemists!).
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!

Possibly Coprinus micaceus, the mica cap, but as always do not trust my ID on that.
