This was one of the first wild mushrooms that I learned to identify. When I was a boy, they used to grow in abundance in a field not far from my home.
@pmsbassplayer Thanks for the info Steph. I've seen a few but have been killing the Hen of the Wood and Honey mushrooms. They're everywhere this year.
I collected a few of these the other day near my work in Washington Twp. next to Stony Creek Park. Not far from Utica Michigan. We sautéed them butter!
AW, lucky!!! It's not starting here quite yet. It has to warm up a bit and we need more rain. Going out mushroom hunting this weekend, so we'll see what we can find! :)
Wow I have alot of these in my yard. Is there any thing that looks like these that I can mistake for them. I would love to try them. I pick and eat alot of morels and false morels every year but I don't kwow anything about these.
Not really. There is coprinus Atramentarius which is smooth and gray. It will react like anti-buse with alcohol. It is a good edible if you don't drink with it. I love the shaggy just sauted in butter.
Oh okay. I kept seeing stuff on the internet talking about the false shaggy mane but no substantial information about it was ever given.
I just found some shaggy manes and wasn't too sure about eating them after the suggestion of the false one but I ended up eating them anyways and I'm still alive! ;-)
I've never heard of a false Shaggy Mane, unless they're talking about Coprinus Atramentarius ( alcohol inky ) which reacts with alcohol rather adverse. Or maybe Coprinus Insignis which is stated to be poisonous, but is not very common as it's European cousin , Coprinus Alopecia. ( Europe only )
Thanks , that's the first time I've ever seen or heard of them. Get David Arora's book Mushrooms Demystified. It's one of the best books I've known.Little costly though, around $50.00
Personally, I like to just saute them in butter. They are really good cut in half , battered and fried to a golden brown too. The bad part about these mushrooms is that you can't save them for later. You have to cook what you find the same day.
@crazymedic7 ...I just cut the stem in half and open the top into three or four pieces set them on melted butter then add thin slices of cooked potatoes ...when they are golden I push all to the side ...tip the pan so that the 'shroomy butter runs to middle of the pan then place thin slices of meat (I like pork) on the butter cook 'til golden ~2-3 mins ~then place on top (previously chopped chickweed lambs quarters and garlic chives) these greens ~turn off heat ~cover for 1-2 minutes enjoy!
thank you so much for this video. I have a family of these on the side of our steep gravel road. Are there any tiny specifics I need to be aware of when identifying?
Not really, other then it's white & shaggy and melts to an inky mess rather quickly. Coprinus Atramentarius is gray and smooth. It's edible, but don't drink alcohol with it cause it reacts like anti-buse.
Have never eaten them as far as I can recall, but they seem quite widespread over the world. I live in the Netherlands and saw quite a few of them in grassfields within residential areas. Too bad they don't grow all year. So no alcohol like 48 hours before or after eating these? Only a small risk.
I have never had a problem with Coprinus Comatus ( Shaggy Mane ) It's Coprinus Atramentarius( Alcohol Inky ) that can react to alcohol. I do love the Shaggy Mane breaded and fried or sauted in butter.
Nice video! Shaggy manes are wonderful and a great way to start off the fall mushroom season. It's raining here in WNC now and I just picked up several on the drive home and I think I'll try them on a pizza for dinner! Check out the video I responded with above showing some of the Shaggy Manes I harvested last year.
Hi Steve! Thanks for subscribing and watching. Thanks for sending the great video too. You gave me a fantastic recipe, shrimp & shaggys. Crab would be good too. I can't believe I didn't think of that myself, as I love all three.
Its a nice mushroom, although very unstable and when it's getting older (thats pretty fast) it's dissolving into a black fluid mess (Autolysis).That's maybe why practical mushroom pickers don't pay so much attention about this species as well as on the others Coprinus sp. Anyways small are tasty...it's not recommended to combine it with alcoholic drinks...lol.. Looking forward for upcomming season...Amanita Rubescens is my favorite :D
People love this mushroom when picked very young and firm, dipped in egg and flour and fried.
The two other coprinus cousins, one grey one beige, pose a bit of a threat at least on paper. I have read, on paper, would appreciate real stories, that one or both, consumed within 48 hours before or after alcohol, make people purple gasping for breath but OK in no time.

I like shaggies better then I do morels. I haven't seen any yet, but it should be any day now.

Really! They are all over the place where I work. Noticed mostly in cut grass lawns. May be near the end of their cycle.

They're said to be edible when very young, but tough and dusty with age because of their range. ( the desert )

It's on the Wiki page about Puffballs, oddly enough.
They have a little picture of it on the right.

yeah they liquify so easily. i heard parboiling them will stop that, but it isn't something i have tried.
