Log in to view attachment

Habitat:
Found these growing at a base of a tree on a busy street in Shanghai, China.
Soil was black and granular.
Could not see it, but Suspect a lot of dog shit and urine as there is no grass nearby and a lot of people have dogs on leashes.


Gills:
Black, not attached,

Stem:
varied from 2cm to 8cm long. straw like yellow. tough, fibrous. hollow ( am pretty sure but not 100%)h, diameter about 2-3mm in dia
no attachment to gills

Cap:
Diameter 1-2 cm, color - brown, texture smooth , dome like, no point, etc.

Spore print color:
BLACK!

Bruising:
Crushed the stems , but no bruising.

Other information:
Scent of the mushroom, was very musky when picked.
I dried them on paper towels under a fan. A LOT of moisture seeped out. Paper towels became SOAKED with tea colored liquid after a few hours. Next day was a powerful ammonia smell. Stems had turned black. Caps turned black and slimy.

I downloaded pictures, but cannot figure out how to attach them!  they are in my file!

never mind...I found them. God bless Wikipedia

Coprinellus micaceus is a common species of fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae with a cosmopolitan distribution. The fruit bodies of the saprobe typically grow in clusters on or near rotting hardwood tree stumps or underground tree roots. Depending on their stage of development, the tawny-brown mushroom caps may range in shape from oval to bell-shaped to convex, and reach diameters up to 3 cm (1.2 in). The caps, marked with fine radial grooves that extend nearly to the center, rest atop whitish stems up to 10 cm (3.9 in) long. In young specimens, the entire cap surface is coated with a fine layer of reflective mica-like cells that provide the inspiration for both the mushroom's species name and the common names mica cap, shiny cap, and glistening inky cap. Although small and with thin flesh, the mushrooms are usually bountiful, as they typically grow in dense clusters. A few hours after collection, the gills will begin to slowly dissolve into a black, inky, spore-laden liquid—an enzymatic process called autodigestion or deliquescence. The fruit bodies are edible before the gills blacken and dissolve, and cooking will stop the autodigestion process.
