What's on the lawn? Coprinus Comatus?
    #19049561 - 10/28/13 11:03 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Habitat:

Landscaped lawn.  Heavy sod.  Well hydrated.  These were bursting from the edge of break in sod near a utility junction box.

Gills:

Blackish and dissolving on the edge of the cap, and a warm grey hue on the inside. Very tightly packed gills.

Stem:
4" long. 3/8" thick.  White and smooth.  Became slightly pink where stem met cap. Hollow and extremely fragile.  When breaking stipe, it reminded me of how a plant stem breaks.

Cap:
2 1/2". Cylindrical. Warm brown at the top with scales that can be peeled up..  Color shifts to grey-ish white going down the cap.  Curled and black at the bottom.  Black goo all over the place.

Spore print color:

Black.

Bruising:

Grey and black

Nothing really to say about the scent.

The first couple of the photos are from the find site, and images under artificial light were taken about 5 hours later.

I keyed this to being Coprinus Comatus,

BUT I'm a total beginner!!!  I'd appreciate any and all expertise.

Thanks for the replies!  Glad my foot isn't in my mouth.  Does anyone know a good thread about cooking these?  I'm guessing that the younger fruits are better tasting/more easily cooked?

You may want to use the search. There was a thread about cooking these a couple of days ago.

It makes a good soup, It makes a good sauce, it pairs well with sweet onion ad it sautes wonderfully in olive oil.

Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it.
If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

My buddy made them like chicken parmesan tonight for dinner.

That was really good.
