  • Yes, they are very recognizable and the mushrooms in your photo are almost certainly K. mutabilis.

    However, Galerina marginata can look very similar under certain circumstances, which is why harvesting and consuming K. mutabilis is best left to experts. These species have been known to grow on the same substrate right next to each other which is why you should ID each mushroom individually.

    Personally, I think can tell the difference quite confidently and I still don’t harvest K. mutabilis. (I’m still waiting to find G. marginata a few more times and get to know them better.)







  • I like them lightly sautéed in butter with a pinch of salt. They’re very delicate and don’t take much time in the pan at all.

    But always make sure they’re fully cooked, never consume wild mushrooms raw (with very few exceptions).

    There is also concern about consuming certain types of Coprinus with alcohol, but to my knowledge shaggy inkcaps are safe in that regard.
