I saw these Coprinus Micaceus (Glistening Inkcap) up the Welcombe Hills



When walking through the woods up the Welcombe Hills I came across this clump of Glistening Inkcap on a stump. It's a common enough fungus, seems to spring up quickly and like the other ink caps becomes a mushy black when it matures. As the name suggests this ink cap appears to glisten. Close inspection reveals the many tiny shiny flecks on the caps that give the glistening effect.
It's thought to be edible see  Rogers Mushrooms. I would steer clear of anything 'thought to be'….
