Shaggy ink cap, čupava gnojištarka

Description:

The young fruit bodies first appear as white cylinders emerging from the ground, then the bell-shaped caps open out. The caps are white, and covered with scales. The gills beneath the cap are white, then pink, then turn black and secrete a black liquid filled with spores. This mushroom is unusual because it will turn black and dissolve itself in a matter of hours after being picked or depositing spores.

Habitat:

Grows on lawns, along gravel roads and waste areas.

Notes:

The young mushrooms, before the gills start to turn black, are edible.
