decorum Oct 2016 10:03pm, 29 Oct 2016 1,122 posts	Quote Pin decorum I *think* that shaggy inkcaps are fine, but the common one is the problem variety. They're close relatives and I don't know that I'd trust someone else's judgement if they were to pick, cook and serve them. The droopy cap in the pics looks like Shaggy, but the more parasol looking ones (in the same pics) might be Common ~ but I could well be wrong . Both are edible ~ if in doubt avoid mixing with alcohol (Easy for me as I no longer drink alcohol]
