  1. coprinus atramentarius

    Coprinopsis atramentaria, commonly known as the common ink cap or inky cap, is an edible (although 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 due to the presence of coprine within the mushroom, it is poisonous when consumed with alcohol, as it heightens the body's sensitivity to ethanol in a similar manner to the anti-alcoholism drug disulfiram. For this reason, the ink cap has an additional common name, tippler's bane.

  1. coprinus atramentarius

    Coprinus atramentarius, commonly known as the common ink cap or inky cap, is a type of fungus belonging to the family Psathyrellaceae. This species is known for its unique characteristic of autodigestion or "deliquescence" where the mushroom's fruit bodies dissolve into a black, inky liquid after the spores mature. It can commonly be found in North America and Europe, often in urban areas, growing on decaying wood or other organic material. While it can be eaten, it is considered toxic when consumed with alcohol as it inhibits the body's ability to break down alcohol, leading to symptoms similar to a hangover.
