[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Shaggy Inkcap (Coprinus comatus)
The shaggy inkcap grows on the ground in various habitats but is most commonly found in neutral grassland or woodland growing in among the grass between September and November. It is also often seen in more urban areas on disturbed ground. The cap is 3-7cm across when expanded, white and very shaggy-scaly, often with a pale brownish "skullcap" at the apex. The gills are white becoming black and inky. The stem is 6-12 cm long with a slightly bulbous base.
Taken in open woodland on a dull day.
