Coprinus micaceus

They belong to so called Inky mushroom. But their liquefaction is weak. They are called "Kirara-take" in Japan which means mica mushroom. Maybe Japanese scientists imported Latin name "micaceus" and named them. How easy they were!



The surface of these juveniles has something like mica-scales which disappear soon in the course of growing up.
