Any clue as to what these are? Thanks! I need ID sort of quick before neighbours bin them, they are growing on old mushrooms they removed 4 days ago haha.



Thank you.

Worthy of note the mushrooms in my picture (Coprinellus micaceus) have good healing properties:
Medicinal properties Antitumor effects
Polysaccharides extracted from the mycelial culture of C. micaceus and administered intraperitoneally into white mice at a dosage of 300 mg/kg inhibited the growth of Sarcoma 180 and Ehrlich solid cancers by 70% and 80%, respectively (Ohtsuka et al., 1973).
Antioxidant The antioxidant activity of cultured liquid, mycelial extract and biomass suspension from cultures of C. micaceus have been shown to have antioxidative potential to inhibit the reaction of free-radical peroxide oxidation of lipids in rat brain homogenate (Badalyan, 2003).

Just make sure you don't drink any alcohol when eating those

You're welcome. They are very common.

Good of you to mention it but this results from consumption of Coprinopsis atramentaria, rather than Coprinellus micaceus which still isn't considered a good edible.

Coprinellus micaceus is an edible species, and cooking inactivates the enzymes that cause autodigestion or deliquescence—a process that can begin as soon as one hour after collection. It is considered ideal for omelettes, and as a flavor for sauces, although it is "a very delicate species easily spoiled by overcooking".The flavor is so delicate that it is easy to overpower and hide with almost anything. The fungus also appeals to fruit flies of the genus Drosophila, who frequently use the fruit bodies as hosts for larvaeproduction.
A study of the mineral contents of various edible mushrooms found that C. micaceus contained the highest concentration of potassium in the 34 species tested, close to half a gram of potassium per kilogram of mushroom. Because the species can bioaccumulatedetrimental heavy metals like lead and cadmium, it has been advised to restrict consumption of specimens collected from roadsides or other collection sites that may be exposed to or contain pollutants.
-------------------- Before assuming that any wild mushroom is edible, it should be identified. Accurate determination and proper identification of a species is the only safe way to ensure edibility, and the only safeguard against possible accident. Some mushrooms that are edible for most people can cause allergic reactions in some individuals, and old or improperly stored specimens can cause food poisoning

Sounds good, I only meant it isn't generally served up after a foray.

Thank you for the info on these mushrooms.
Very nice to read, very interesting.
I will consider them for cooking. What a nice bit of knowledge .
