The Common Ink Cap
The common Ink cap, also known as the Inky Cap or Coprinopsis atramentaria, usually appears in clusters from spring to early winter. It is known to be incredibly strong and can grow through asphalt or lift stones when its mycelium is covered during its off months of winter. This is possible thanks to its vertically aligned hyphae in its stem, which provide it with its strength. It can be consumed but is toxic if consumed with alcohol or if alcohol is consumed three days before or after eating the mushroom.
