Inky Cap Mushroom

Inky caps eat their own caps to release spores. Black goo forms during digestion, releasing the spores. If you want to have natural ink, put the mushroom into a saucer and store at room temperature for a few days. The mushroom disintegrates and becomes ink. To keep the ink longer, pour it into a bottle with one part of formalin to twenty of the ink.
