The Shaggy Mane,Coprinus comatus, is known as an ‘inky cap’ because it deliquesces (liquifies) into a black, spore enriched liquid in a matter of a few hours. So you’ll need to act fast if you plan to consume this mushroom!

Mushroom hack from Paul Stamets: “If you submerge fresh Shaggy Manes into cold water the mushrooms will stop deliquescing.”

(Shaggy Mane should not be consumed with alcohol.)
