Coprinus Comatus "Shaggy Mane"

@cryptomushii

Coprinus Comatus, also known as the Shaggy Mane, holds a special place in the hearts of wild mushroom lovers. This species is edible, beautiful, and has a method of spore dispersal that seems like it's right out of a science fiction movie.

Like a frightened squid or exploding pen, this mushroom releases a black liquid that is laden with spores. As it matures it will deliquesce, meaning it will appear to melt away until only the stem is left!
