These are the first of the Ink Cap family that I have found.
They were growing in a grass lawn, no trees near by, growing in clusters, plenty of them. I took a few caps to try a spore test and in less than 24hrs the caps went completely to ink. The stems are 3 to 5 inches long and are hollow, I did not see a ring on any of them. the flakes on the cap seem to be somewhat beige in colour. The gills are light brown slightly pink when young, the older ones are dark brown/black.
I had hoped that these were Shaggy Mane, but I am unsure after reading up on Scaley Ink Caps and Alcohol Ink Caps.
What are these?? Anybody eat Scaley Ink Caps?
p.s. that is my new beagle pup...Darby Duke!!
