Shaggy ink cap

Dear Michel, this is the late, probably the last stage of this fungus life, so it doesn't have white or shaggy appearance. But there was couple of younger specimen in surroundings, as in this spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/909... so they help me in determination. Thank you on your interest in my spotting. Greetings.

It is more likely a species of Coprinellus, rather than Coprinus, as the cap doesn't have the white, shaggy appearence and lacks a brown, ochraceous or whitish central velum patch. As it looks like it stands solitary, I'd suggest a species of Coprinellus from section Domestici, which means it is a member of the group surrounding Coprinellus domesticus. Microscopy is required to find out the exact species.

Thanks. No, i haven't tried to make ink, but it seems very interesting. Actually I'm quite busy at the moment, but I'll give it a try in future. I ate young specimen of this fungus and that is my only experience with it. :-)
