Dave W Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Species of what are called "Inky caps". Notice how the caps are dissolving into a black substance near the margins, and how the gills are black. Probably a species of Coprinellus.

Could be mica caps (Coprinus micaceus), based on the glistening particles on the young tan one that have disappeared on the older ones. If you come back in a few days you will possibly find they will all be autolyzed "melted". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
