Coprinus comatus, the Shaggy Mane, is a delicious edible mushroom - but you have to eat it soon after picking. It lasts only for a few hours, soon melting into an inky fluid thick with black spores. This is one of several species called Inky Caps. 📹: @morel__momma on IG | Paul Stamets

Discover the elegant Coprinus comatus mushroom, a wild delicacy thriving in the forest's natural environment. A testament to nature's beauty and diversity.

Shaggy Mane, Coprinus comatus, is one of my favorite species. This is an 'inky cap' as the gills deliquesce (melt) into a black, spore enriched liquid in a matter of a few hours. So, if you wish to consume them, you need to do so within a few hours of harvesting. I prefer to cook them stir fried, initially with olive oil and shallots (onions), and then adding butter once much of the water has cooked off. Beware of a similar, gray color Coprinus - Coprinus atramentarius 😊 Coprinus atrementaria)
