Mica Cap

Mica Cap (Coprinellus micaceus) is an edible fungus characterized by its bell-shaped ochre-brown cap lined. Its gills start out as white but gradually fade to inky black as the mushroom ages. This mushroom also features distinctive glistening granules that are only visible on young mushrooms. They grow to be only a few inches tall and have a cap that is between 1-2 inches thick. Mica caps often grow in clusters at the base of tree stumps or among wood debris.
