This is a real belter of an Ink Cap, about four inches high so far, growing up through the orchard grass.
Apparently you can eat them but we're not sure that we would though, maybe it tastes like or at least looks like rice does when it's cooked with squid ink. Or do you slice it and have it with your full English Breakfast, it could be a vegetarian alternative to Black Pudding. On second thoughts no it could not.
Our book of 'A thousand ways you can poison yourself with funghi' has a happy smiling face next to a picture of an Ink Cap it saying it is edible and has a pleasant smell. Good news then.
There are two more in the family that look exactly the same and have skull and crossbones next to them, we can't help but wonder what that means?
