Well-known member
I know nothing about Fungi but found these three specimens on a recent walk and was wondering what they were. Any help would be much appreciated.

TIA

Adam

Hi Adam,

The first two are 'Inkcaps'. I think the first should be Coprinus comatus and the second Coprinells micaceus.

The third is a bit too far gone to attempt with any certainty, but I'd guess at an Agaricus species. There are a few to be found in grassland which seem to turn black with age.
