Extract from Wikipedia article: Coprinopsis atramentaria, commonly known as the common ink cap or inky cap, is an edible (but sometimes poisonous, when combined with alcohol) mushroom found in Europe and North America. Previously known as Coprinus atramentarius, it is the second best known ink cap and previous member of the genus Coprinus after C. comatus. It is a widespread and common fungus found throughout the northern hemisphere. Clumps of mushrooms arise after rain from spring to autumn, commonly in urban and disturbed habitats such as vacant lots and lawns, as well as grassy areas. The grey-brown cap is initially bell-shaped before opening, after which it flattens and disintegrates. The flesh is thin and the taste mild. It can be eaten but is poisonous when consumed with alcohol – hence another common name, tippler's bane.
Coprinopsis atramentaria is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Psathyrellaceae. It is commonly found in St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, typically growing in clusters on rich soil, dung, and decaying organic matter. The fungus has a bell-shaped cap that ranges in color from dark brown to black, often with a metallic sheen, and can reach diameters of up to 6 cm. It is known to fruit in late summer and autumn, and is considered edible, but caution is advised due to potential confusion with poisonous lookalikes. In the region, it can be found in urban areas, parks, and forests, particularly in areas with rich soil and abundant organic matter.
