Shaggy Mane

Another shot from the Summer Leys country park. I spotted this funghi which I thought quite unusual and one of the other visitors to the park identified it for me. I think it's an ink cap. I checked on Google later and apparently it is quite common!

A great fungi capture. Apparently dye can be extracted from these and used as ink.

[Yoland]

Oh great detail, interesting layers.

[Diana]

Beautiful find and shot with lovely details, great title too.

[Babs]

Isn't it beautiful. I suppose it will probably be poisonous.

Yes it looks like the shaggy ink cap to me. Also known as the lawyer’s wig. As it gets older it will collapse in a mess of black. Not poisonous, I believe, but not to be recommended.
