Hare's Foot Inkcap (Coprinopsis lagopus)Observer
bjohnson686Description
Cap and gills are light grey/black with striping visible from above the cap. The gill attachment seemed free, but I'm uncertain as I'm no expert and can't magnify. I think it's the hare's foot or pleated inkcap, but would love advice on how to better ID.
