Field Notes

Description:

The shaggy ink cap is easily recognizable from its almost cylindrical cap which initially covers most of its stem. The cap is mostly white with shaggy scales, which are more pale brown at the apex. The free gills change rapidly from white to pink, then to black.-Wikipedia.

Habitat:

Spotted in a meadow at Suncadia.
