| | | Fungi indentification help please.
Found an interesting clump of these in just outside the park behind my house. 
I've looked though my guide and I'm at loss. They're 3" tall, and seem to have a bronze spot on the top. I looked at the one my dad picked and didn't notice any discolouration or smell. Here are some more detailed photo's. Thanks in advance!

Looks like Common Inkcap, Coprinopsis atramentataria, unless the name has changed again  |

Mal | Yes I know, but a description is one thing, seeing one is another. If you know what I mean.  And apparently C. romagnesiana also has scales at the stem base. Second hand knowledge though. |

Mal | Are you sure about that? According to the Basidiomycota Checklist, and the FoS Vol. 4, C. romagnesiana has orange or orange brown scales on the cap and the stem base. Whereas according to FoS, C. atramentaria can have brown scales on the cap, as per your specimens. I have photos of what I considered to be C. atramentaria with brown scales on the cap. I do not have detailed descriptions of microscopic features for C. romagnesiana.
The original poster's photos do look like C. romagnesiana, according to my possibly misinformed eye. |

Leif
I was unsure and I tried to get the above identified. I was told some of the "top brass" would definitely confirm C romagneniana just from its look but others would argue  I think it is another of those that there is so much overlap in the physical atributes and the minds of the fungal comunity that us lower echelons may never know.

Hello Leif,
not C. romagnesiana, just C. atramentaria. I have seen C. romagnesiana once, and it has totally different colours. No grey at all. The cap is a kind of hazel nut brown, the scales are slightly darker, bigger then in yours and not apressed but turning the tips upwards. If you one day find this species, you will know that it is! If you have doubts, it is not ....
best regards,
Andreas
