Shaggy Inkcap/Shaggy Mane or Lawyer's Wig as I like to call it. Edible and good according to my sources. But always tripple check. Although this one shouldmt have anyone that look too similar.

Delicious! If I recall, they react poorly with alcohol so don't drink if you've had them. One of the tastiest mushrooms imo.

Nope, that is a Coprinus comatus lookalike - Coprinopsis atramentaria. You don't want to consume alcohol within a few days of eating that mushroom, before or after.

You're absolutely right, looks like I've been worried for nothing. They're quite similar, but have some key differences for proper identification like the lack of scales.

Looks more like a shaggy mane that hasn't opened up yet

Oops, you are right!
