I ought to add a caveat here: The photos you have shown are definitely Shaggy Ink-Caps, but if you go back in the morning, make sure you look at the same ones, and check on the rogersmushrooms site I have already directed you to, because when they are young, ink-caps can look very similar to some nasty amanitas before they open out. Basically, if they start to go black and inky, they are ink-caps, but - like I said - satisfy yourself that they are through reference and experience. The gills of a closed ink-cap will be a sort of fleshy pink before they open (when you cut them open) NOT white. You will usually see one nearby which is dripping with black ink. Take the plunge, but don't take risks, and your confidence will increase through experience.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-7799043559460693052010-09-25T18:56:33.482-04:002010-09-25T18:56:33.482-04:00P.S.

The great thing about ink caps is that you usually find them in groups of about 15 or 20 - plenty for all the girls.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-36073219583643093742010-09-25T18:54:34.304-04:002010-09-25T18:54:34.304-04:00Don't panic Chania - the mushrooms in the top ...Don't panic Chania - the mushrooms in the top photo are great - they are Shaggy Ink-Caps. Delicious - eat those ones. There are 2 types of ink caps - shaggy and smooth. You can eat both, but you must not drink alcohol with the smooth ones, otherwise they can have adverse effects. They are only eaten for breakfast, unless you are an alcoholic.<br /><br />The 'Lawyer's Wig', shaggy ones are best simply fried up when they are young, before they start to go inky and black like in the 3rd photo. You have my permission to eat those!<br /><br />The ones in the lower photo (club puff-balls) are edible when young, but I don't like them - they are strange textured and tasteless. Eat the young ink caps - I've eaten loads and they are really tasty, just fried in butter.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.com
