Common Ink Cap Mushroom Information
Coprinopsis atramentaria or the Common In Cap have bell-shaped, pale grey caps and gills that liquify to make black ink. They usually grow in spring, summer, and fall in clusters on buried, decaying wood. They are found in urban areas and also mixed woodlands. They are highly poisonous when alcohol has been consumed within 48 hours. Even using products with alcohol on your body after eating an ink cap can be poisonous.
