Shaggy Mane!
Not only does this splendid mushroom provide us with a durable natural ink, but it’s also a choice edible!

They have an extremely short lived life once picked. You need to eat them within 24 hours or your fridge will become one huge ink mess. This is a process where the fruiting body slowly degrades into a gooey black ink.
This is also known as deliquescing. The ink is also edible and used to dye certain foods.

When you find some they tend to flush multiple specimens from the same patch. So you can keep returning for a few days to find more and more of them, popping up to say hello and bless the world with their ink.

They love grassland and trails on woodland walks.

I encourage you to get on out there, find some ink and get creative! 😊

Scientific Name: Coprinus comatus

Happy foraging!
