Shaggy Mane / Coprinus comatus

I was SO excited when these were noticed during a walk in Clearwater Park on 4th September!!! Maybe five of these gorgeous mushrooms growing together, at different stages. This one was dripping black "ink" beautifully, which of course is what Inky Caps/Shaggy Manes do : ) Our hands were black after moving a few annoying blades of grass. After seeing and photographing these, I could have happily turned around and gone home, as these were more than enough to make my day : )

Oh, and it's pouring with rain AGAIN, LOL!

Noticed this beauty along the bank of a small creek in a local park. It was all alone, close to some exposed tree roots.

Often seen along roadsides and other grassy places, these attractive ink caps gradually expand, turn black and liquefy.
