found these in my yard, can i put them in my dinner?
    #3271084 -

hello all, i as you can tell from my info i haven't been a real active member (or a long standing one) on this forum, but i do sign on pretty much every day and read the various threads. all in all i have come to love this site and everything it has to offer. i was hopeing for in ID on these mushrooms i found in my back yard.
found them growing in my Western Massachusetts lawn. (because of my location, i am 99% certain they are not active)
they dont have a peticular scent. i would say its a mushroomy smell but it is not peticulalry pungent.
average size is a 4cm cap, and a 7cm stem. the colors are a purpleish with dull gray/whitish streaks.
i think i will let the pics speak for themselves on the other characteristics as i dont really want to say something stupid that isn't correct.
if other information is wanted/needed just say so and i will do my best. thanks

I wouldn't drink any alcohol with them!

They look like some sort of inky cap to me...although I am not an expert in all the varieties of mushrooms of the world like some on here!

I'd say Coprinus but I'm not expert.

and if they are coprinus they aren't edible the caps will start to dissolve sorta and melt, and be nothin but goo.

thanks for the input, a little more reserch on my part leads me to say Coprinus atramentarius. does that sound right to anyone/everyone?

Atratmentarius sounds like a reasonable guess, yes. I don't recommend eating them, for the following reasons:
- You specimens are way past their prime; coprinus mushrooms should be eaten only when the gills are still white
- Coprinus Atramentarius is one of the species that creates a toxic reaction in your body with alcohol. You can't drink alcohol for about a week after eating these.
- Coprinus species don't really taste that good :smile:

Still nice find. I found an atramentarius specimen once that weighed more than a pound :laugh:

Koraks has it, although I disagree about flavor (on Coprinus comatus).

Happy mushrooming!
