The Slug and Mushroom
No doubt, this deliciously edible mushroom, the shaggy inkcap or Judge's Wig as it is also called, attracts many species in need of a feast. Initially it presents itself as a long cylinder, before opening up into its classic shape. They have to be quick however, as in no time it breaks down. It is for this reason they are never found in shops or served in restaurants. On being placed on a plate, they reduce to a pool of ink within 24 hours. It is the ink which contains the spores.
