Hare's foot inkcap (Coprinopsis lagopus)
A lovely inkcap very shortly before it disappears completely, having spread it spores.

Coprinopsis picacea in its final form before it eventually disintegrates. This mushroom, a type of “Ink Cap” digests its own cap (dissolving itself into “ink”) in order to spread more spores. The auto-digestion starts from the cap edge and crawls upward, revealing increasingly more of the spore-bearing gill surface. These mushrooms are very ephemeral and can be reduced to a puddle of “ink” and a stem within 24 hrs

Ink Caps--Coprinus, Coprinopsis, and Coprinellus
They don't just grow in shit, I promise (in fact I don't think I've ever seen them growing in shit...). Photos are all mine, all unedited. The reason the ones of Coprinellus micacea look so much better is because of the lighting that time of day and also because I used my digital SLR camera. All the rest were taken with my old Moto G phone camera.
Coprinellus disseminatus, the fairy ink cap. They're edible but you'd need a lot of them because they're very small. Luckily they tend to be numerous! Good in soup or pasta sauce. They crumble really easily, so you want them in a paper bag you can easily shake them out of into a pan.
Coprinellus micaceus, the glistening ink cap. Also edible, and bigger than their aptly named cousins, but get 'em quickly and cook them because they will autodigest quickly and leave an inky mess. Good on pizza or in pasta sauce.
Coprinopsis atramentaria, the common ink cap. Edible as well and bigger than Coprinellus, but again you want to collect and cook those quickly. Good in pasta sauce. And the young ones specifically are really really good with mac and cheese, especially if you put fresh chives or green onions on top afterward.
Coprinopsis variegata, the scaly ink cap. The young ones look an awful lot like puffballs. The older ones look like shaggy manes to the untrained eye. The scales will fall off with handling. These also are edible. Excellent in a creamy soup.
Coprinus comatus, the shaggy mane. Choice edible, but again, grab 'em quickly. Did you know my very first picture of a shaggy mane (left), I didn't even know it was a shaggy mane? Because I wasn't foraging yet. Good with pizza, in mushroom gravy, pasta sauce, or wherever else you'd want to use mushroooms. :)
Word of caution: ALL edible wild mushrooms need to be cooked. Even those that won't make you sick immediately can have longterm effects. Cook them and cook them well. You pretty much have to try to overcook a mushroom. So cook them properly.
A secondary word of caution: all edible ink caps with the exception of the shaggy mane don't react well with alcohol. The recommendation is that you don't consume ink caps within three days of having consumed alcohol, one way or the other. That being said, it does vary between individuals. I've been fine with no more than a few hours between a single drink and a meal with them in it.
Word of ethics: always leave at a third of the young mushrooms you find, and only in a large flush. If there's only one, leave it be.
And not so much caution, but for convenience: collect quickly and cook quickly. Some do it faster than others, but if you have mature specimens, they will autodigest into ink. Some people have used them as ink, if that's what you're after, go for it, but if you mean to actually eat them, you need to apply heat, as that disrupts that process. Another fun thing, though! If you get mature specimens that have only just begin to autodigest, you can cook them into a black sauce and even mix with flour to make black pasta!

FOTD #079 : blue coprinopsis! (coprinopsis pulchricaerulea)
the blue coprinopsis is an agaric fungus in the family psathyrellaceae. it is quite rare, but its few sightings have been in australia :-) it most often grows on decaying wood or leaf litter, either in small groups or alone.
the big question : can i bite it??
due to its rarity, its edibility is unknown...
c. pulchricaerulea description :
"cap: 8-28mm wide by 6-22mm tall. starts spherical becoming ovate to convex with age. pale or bright blue in colour discolouring with grey or green shades with age or when dry. cap is fragile & covered in fine glistening white powdery warts which may wash off. gills: start white or pale cream maturing to pale tan. crowded. stem: 5-20mm long & 3-7mm in diameter. slightly bulbous base which tapers towards the cap. has a stem ring towards the base."

Hare’s foot inkcap (Coprinopsis Iagopus)
These gorgeous inkcaps are always wonderful to find! They go through their entire metamorphis, from appearing from the soil as a fuzzy, long-egg shape, to fully expanding with upwards turning edges (as you can see here) that will shrivel into nothing, within 24 hours, so spotting them always feels like you’ve been let in on a small secret.

Week 3. is coming to the end and I've only managed to do one mushroom again… But what can I do, here's my "edible one" week post.
One of the many great things about this challenge is that I get to learn something new again.
I'll allow myself a small crying out insert. After studying 4 different college majors, I realized I'm not a scientist… I'm burnt out, I've lost the joy of research, etc… I've gone a bit overboard…
Anyway, after a long time I feel again that I enjoy learning something new and real. The process of making this ink is so fascinating.
The cartoon character has light hair, even streaks, the skirt darkens towards the end just like the mushroom hat and it is also melted around the edge.
She only has green eyes because the picture was of the same grass and the green one matched it.
She is standing with a pen in her hands on a sheet of parchment on which is written in large letters: Alcohol prohibited.
Drops of ink drip from the end onto the white page.
She has a bit of an angry expression on her face, the chastiser girl.

Hare's Foot Ink Cap - Coprinopsis lagopus
Found some ink caps beneath the neighbour's mailbox and loitered suspiciously while the dog kept watch.
