Mushroom for ID-SJ:16Aug09 : Attachments (3). 6 posts by 4 authors. this morning while bird-watching at Okhla Bird Park (Delhi), I found these mushrooms growing only on this bed of woodchips. Would very much appreciate help with ID. ... many thanks for sharing, ... it looks so different; it is very interesting. I think this is Coprinus picaceus. The pileus in species of Coprinus is deliquescent, so commonly they are known as ink caps. |
