Shaggy Ink Cap

Also known as Lawyer's Wig. Coprinus comatus. This is a common fungus and the picture shows it at an early stage of its life.

I may blip it again tomorrow or the next day to show how it develops. That is of course if it is still there as the remnants of Hurricane Gonzalo are presently forecast to have gusts of up to 100kmh. in Arnside tomorrow morning.
