FungiFriday: Ink caps
It's hot and dry where I live so we don't see many mushrooms and other fungi much except for brief periods in summer, if we have rain for a week at a time. Then a few short-lived fungi will pop up in lawns and and any dead plant matter. These ink caps have just emerged out of the soil because we have had the first decent rains of summer. Within a day or two, they will have turned to mush.

These mushrooms are very familiar to me. They grow well in damp places and quickly destroy wood, which turns into dust.
It's good that you have these mushrooms grow for a short time.
They look wayyyy smaller than the ones I saw.
These are very little ones. I have also seen bigger. Perhaps because they are growing in soil, not wood
Maybe... Here I saw them groin among grasses.
Why are these mushrooms called ink caps?
Back in the day, they were used for making writing ink
They look like milk chocolate!! So these are not edible.

They are edible, they just don't grow in sufficient quantities to amount to anything
