| | | What am i?!
hello all i found this just before Christmas in Liverpool in some woodland  
my border collie found it before i did an thankfully i managed to get her away from it.
it looks quite sinister too me, but it maybe just because its rotting? (im guessing that its rotten!!)
any ideas what it is? |

Hello,
this is a species of a genus called "ink-caps". You probably guess why they are called so 
These species usually don't just rot away like other mushrooms do, but dissolve themselves in a black, ink-like substance.
I can not tell which species, because I don't get the images bigger. Possibly it is Coprinus comatus or Coprinopsis picaceus.
best regards,
Andreas

I can't see the photo's at all! From your description it could be Alice Cooper. |

The first could be Inocybe confusa and the second Cudonia confusa.
Two good guesses considering I can see nothing either.

Andreas must have special powers! 
All I see when I click on those little icon-thingies is "Photo not found in the database!"

Hello,
my pendulum told me which fungus mudcow showed us 
No, honestly, yesterday the fotos were to see. I don't know why they are no longer. May be they have been included in the wrong Gallery ("determined fungi"), but then they could have been shifted rather than deleted.
@mudcow: There are no fungi that harm anyone, when you don't eat it. So if you just let the fungus be as it is, it will harm no one. If you were scared that your dog might be harmed when eating a fungus, I would strongly recommend to teach you dog not to do such things. Even fungi that are edible to humans can cause problems in (certain) animals and vice versa. But I have never heared of a dog eating inky ink-caps and I don't think they look very apetizing even for dogs ;-))
best regards,
Andreas
