Description
Second mushroom found at Bullard's Beach State Park (see previous post for the first). Anybody recognize this species?

Coprinus comatus or Shaggy Mane, An edible choice, but must be cooked quickly before the caps turn to ink, or so I'm told... I have these all around in my yard! I've yet to try them, I guess I need a real expert to give me the go ahead!!! LOL!!!
Yeah, I know someone who had a book on identifying mushrooms. He picked some out of the yard and added them to his spaghetti sauce... He ended up getting his stomach pumped, and having charcoal for dessert. It's funny afterwards and he has survived. His daughter and I even had an on-going joke about ... You might be a Red Neck if... and even had a little song "I am Mushroom Man"... sorry for the ramble. Just brought back memories. This is a great photo and this mushroom kinda looks like a ladies old fashioned skirt.
What a beautiful mushroom, wonderful post work excellent shot.
I have not seen any that looked anything like this. Very interesting though. I, like you, have no faith in my identification of mushrooms and only eat what comes from the store, lol. Nice capture. Thanks for sharing. Lee
Oooo, much more interesting than 95% of the shroom I find around here. Thanks for sharing!
What a fascinating mushroom. Great shot and capture.
Looks like a young Shaggy Ink Cap to me, (Coprinus comatus) and if that's what it is, then it's edible. You need to photograph it later in its life though to be more certain and one of the reasons for it's name is that eventually it deliqueses into a dark inky substance. If you do a google image search with "Shaggy Ink Cap" in the 'entire phrase' box then loads of pics just like yours comes up, including here: http://rawgreens.co.uk/mushrooms/179-shaggy-ink-cap-mushroom-extract.html ...where there is a recipe for ketchup made from this mushroom.
