Coprinopsis lagopus – Hare's foot inkcap

Synonyms: Agaricus lagopus, Coprinus lagopus.

Common name: hare's foot inkcap.

Russian names: Navoznik volosistonogiy, Navoznik pushistyy, Navoznik mokhnonogiy.

Extract from Wikipedia article: Coprinopsis lagopus is a species of fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae. Until 2001, the species was known as Coprinus lagopus; advances in the understanding of phylogenetic relationships between the various coprinoid species led to a major reorganization of that genus. It is a delicate and short-lived fungus, the fruit bodies lasting only a few hours before dissolving into a black ink – a process called deliquescence. The vague resemblance of the young fruit body to the paw of a white rabbit has earned this species the common name harefoot mushroom.
