Shaggy Ink cap

Coprinus comatus

Description:

Definitely a Coprinus species.

Habitat:

Found in my front yard.

Notes:

Called inky caps because of the ink like substance they "melt" in to. This liquid can actually be used as ink as well. I am experimenting with it currently so having one of these pop up in the front yard was rather convenient.
