Southern CA: Very fragile ink cap?
    #23079163 -

Hello again. I see a lot of these around and I'd like to know more precisely what they are. Any help would be appreciated.

Habitat:
In an orchard on old horse manure fertilizer.

Gills:
Dark, lightly or not attached.

Stem:
White hollow smooth, paper thin. 1/4 in diameter, ~3in tall.

Cap:
~1 in diameter. Turning into ooze. Visible ridges on top.

Spore print color:
The caps were turning into a dark ooze, no chance to get a spore print.

Other information:
Mushroom is extremely fragile, probably popped up this morning and is disintegrating before noon. 2nd picture shows the hollow stem.

I believe those are a Coprinopsis sp.  Other than that, you'll need better advice and most likely a microscope.:laugh:

Thanks, I actually do have a pretty powerful microscope. It might make a good science experiment some time, but I'd need to know more about what to look for :smile:

Check out the microscopy forum for the "how to look for" questions, and also post a request for a good key to the inky caps for the "what to look for".

Just make sure to get hold of a young specimen and dry it before it dissolves.
It's sometimes actually a feat to even get them home before they turn into goo.

They might of been Coprinopsis sect. Lanatuli (With species around C. lagopus), but they are a bit too deliquesced to really do anything with. Important micro features are spores, structure of the veil on the cap, basidia and cystidia on the gills.
