On picking up the kids from school we noticed these funny looking mushrooms in a roundabout near our home.
I decided I should photograph them, and when going to the grocery, I took the camera along and went for a quick shoot on the way to the store.
Vera suspected it's a Suomumustesieni, and after a quick check on Wikipedia (in Finnish) we were confirmed it was, indeed what she thought it was. It's English names are Shaggy inkcap, Lawyer's wig and Shaggy mane.
lat. Coprinus comatus

Shaggy inkcap is an edible mushroom, said to be excellent and fitting for cooking for it's asparagus like qualities. Although because it can easily collect pollutants like led or cadmium from its surroundings, it should be noted that it likely shouldn't be picked in near proximity of traffic or garbage dumps, where it often by chance grows.
Unlike its close relative Common inkcap (Coprinopsis atramentaria), it doesn't contain coprine that together with alcohol will induce antabus like symptoms.
Shaggy inkcaps should be cooked fresh after picking, because they will soon turn into black inky mush of spores if left unattended, even in the fridge.
Thank you for your attention. I appreciate it, and I will post more photos soon! See ya!
