BioImages: The Virtual Field-Guide (UK) Coprinus Pers., 1797 (inkcaps) Date: 24 May 1974 OS grid ref: SE33 Lat/Lon: 53° 50' N, 1° 20' W Location: Vice County: Mid-west Yorkshire, VC64, England Stage or state: Fruitbody Record Summary: Young inkcap with ozonium state, on fallen oak log Associated organism: on fallen log of Quercus Identification Notes: This one's a bit of puzzle! The ozonium state is generally associated with Coprinus of the domesticus/radians group (and maybe also C. micaceus), but this fruitbody is clearly neither of these and looks closer to C.lagopus. May be their proximity is coincidental. Images standard photographs and close-ups << Click on a thumbnail
