Fairy Inkcap (Coprinellus disseminatus): This fungi is also known as “trooping crumble cap” and is a species of agaric fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae. Unlike most other coprinoid mushrooms, the Fairy Inkcap does not dissolve into black ink (deliquesce) in maturity and just occasionally it’s possible to stumble upon a magical stand like this ranging regionally from brown and purple to white, if you are able to get out to the woodland.
