Coprinellus Micaceus - Mica Cap

Nature - Wild Life - Mushroom. Coprinellus Micaceus, commonly known as the mica cap, Glistening inky cap, or Shiny Cap, is a common species of mushroom-forming fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae. Coprinellus Micaceus is a saprotrophic species, deriving nutrients from dead and decomposing organic matter, and grows in and around stumps or logs of broad-leaved trees or attached to buried wood. It prefers feeding on bark, particularly the secondary phloem, rather than the wood. Fruit bodies are commonly found growing in dense clusters, but can also be found growing singly or in small clumps, especially in forested areas. In North America, Coprinellus Micaceus is one of the first edible mushrooms to appear in the spring, and fruits from April to September. In Europe, it fruits from May to December. Although it can grow at any time of the year, it is more prevalent during the spring and fall, coinciding with the higher humidity resulting from spring and autumn rains. Is limitedly edible and in combination with alcohol consumption even quite poisonous, popularly known as mica sponge, shiny dung or dew sponge.
