The Fungi World (147) : Shaggy Inkcap

The young fruiting body of the Shaggy Inkcap first appears as a white cylinder emerging from the ground, then the bell-shaped cap opens out.
In the last stage of its life, the cap discolors black with dark ink dripping down.

In China this species is cultivated as food.

Dutch name : Geschubde inktzwam
German name : Schopftintling
Latin name : Coprinus comatus

    Fascinating this trio with their peeling and shaggy surface ... great your capture, so sharp and fine the details and nice with the autumnal grass and trees in the background.
    greetings, Adele

    Was für skurrile Pilze! Die Formen, Farben und Strukturen sind sehr eigenwillig!!! Du zeigst dieses Trio in einer ganz besonders gelungenen Perspektive!

    LG!

    Sympathic mushrooms, they don't
    hide in the darkness of forests.
    Another masterly detailed picture.
    Best wishes - A.
