At well over 12 inches, these must be the tallest Shaggy inkcaps (Coprinus comatus) I’ve ever seen, spotted growing in a nearby coastal field earlier this week. And just this morning, on social media, I read a post by a ranger at RSPB Lakenheath Fen saying he’d also seen his biggest there this week. Something about this year’s climatic conditions must be suiting them.
