Shaggy Ink Cap Toadstool (Caprinus comatus)

Shaggy Ink Cap Toadstool (Caprinus comatus)
Seen near Newton, Suffolk. This toadstool is also known as Lawyer's Wig. Please remember that, under no circumstances should any fungi be eaten, unless they have been properly identified by qualified experts.

With thanks to Petar Bojić for identifying this species. :-)

You weren't wrong, Dean! It is Coprinus comatus (in our country called Great slurry ).A prized delicacy. At the very top to taste. It is enjoyed only until it starts to get dark, not even red.
