ruby in shaggy ink cap?

[diggleken]

I posted this on another thread yesterday, but it might have been missed(or not of course).
This was a glistening ruby red liquid, inside the cap of a shaggy ink cap, revealed by a slug hole.
It was so beautiful , lit up by the sun.
Just some deliquescing liquid inside the cap, but near the top, so not black as normal.
anyone seen this before? Do we know if liquidisation starts higher in the cap - I had previously thought it was just at the cap edges as the fungi ages.
cheers

I know I have seen red liquid from them before, not just the black ink.

Cheers,

Yeah now you mention it, I have too I think. I can't exactly put my finger on when though but you have jogged my memory.

Just seems to me that some small creature has taken a nibble and had a wet fart before it left.
