Thank you for the comment, TheMiesMeister. Since so many species of Coprinus look similar and I only have this one photo, I'll change this to Coprinus sp.

Hi! This is not Coprinellus disseminatus. If it was, it was smaller and it would grow in clusters/crowded. I think this might be Coprinus auricomus.

Hi Nhat Nam Nguyen Khanh, I don't know if this one glows. The lake is closed at night.
