Shaggy ink caps Coprinus comatus.

David writes; I like this picture, even though of a common mushroom variety, because it shows all main stages of the fruiting body simultaneously. I was fortunate in my timing. This picture was taken with my old digital camera. I now have a Pentax K100D, which has breathed new life back into the wonderful lenses I used to use in the days of film.

Thanks for the great picture! I saw some amazing mushrooms up in Maine this summer but alas, no camera. My dear spouse just got me a book on identifying the things: they're amazing!
