Coprinus Comatus ( The Shaggy Mane )

The "Shaggy Mane" is one of the easiest mushrooms to safely identify. Just don't try to keep them too long or you'll end up with an inky mess.

Hi Jack,

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!

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

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.

@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!
