Shaggy Mane, Coprinus comatus, is one of my favorite species. This is an 'inky cap' as the gills deliquesce (melt) into a black, spore enriched liquid in a matter of a few hours. So, if you wish to consume them, you need to do so within a few hours of harvesting. I prefer to cook them stir fried, initially with olive oil and shallots (onions), and then adding butter once much of the water has cooked off. Beware of a similar, gray color Coprinus - Coprinus atramentarius 😊 Coprinus atrementaria)

Shaggy cap, black-tip, this fungus has the drip 🖤💧 Shaggy inkcap (Coprinus comatus) is an amazing fungus that self-digests its gills through a process known as 'deliquescence.' The fungi absorbs moisture in the air until it creates a solution with the absorbed water and its enzymes to dissolve its own gills and release spores. 🍄 ⭐ This incredible 12-hour time lapse footage from Luke Alexander Visuals captures the deliquescence process. *CSIRO does not endorse the consumption of any fungi ment

Coprinus comatus, the Shaggy Mane, is a delicious edible mushroom - but you have to eat it soon after picking. It lasts only for a few hours, soon melting into an inky fluid thick with black spores. This is one of several species called Inky Caps. 📹: @morel__momma on IG | Paul Stamets
