Are Shaggy Inkcap out in Madrid yet?

Fruits after good rain when nights turn cool, typically following late summer and autumn downpours. A warm spell broken by steady rainfall brings them up within a day or two, often in flushes.
A grassland and disturbed-ground mushroom rather than a deep-woods one, favouring rich, compacted or recently turned soil. Look on lawns, road verges, playing fields, gravel paths, waste ground and woodland edges.
Late summer to autumn, roughly July to November, with most fruiting from August onwards.
Does not keep; it auto-digests into black liquid within a few hours even in the fridge, so cook on the day of picking. To hold a meal briefly, cook them down first and refrigerate or freeze the cooked mushrooms rather than the raw caps.
Eat only very young, white, firm caps; slice and fry gently in butter as they release a lot of liquid, then finish with cream and parsley. Good in a quick soup or folded into an omelette, but always cook the same day they are picked.
Most similar to the common ink cap, Coprinopsis atramentaria, which is greyer and smoother without the shaggy scales. That species causes severe illness if eaten with alcohol, so the key difference is the tall shaggy white cap of Coprinus comatus versus the smooth grey, bell-shaped cap of the common ink cap.
