Alcohol Inky
Coprinus atramentarius

This is a mushroom that few 'shroomers pass up and is found in grass or decaying wood from spring through fall. These mushrooms are not poisonous, but alcohol should not be consumed before, while eating, and for at least 2 days after eating them. The combination will cause very unpleasant reactions.

These are often found in clumps and many can be found growing in one spot. They will darken past their prime and these should be avoided since they will usually produce an inky mass when cooked.
