Inky cap mushrooms grow from May to September. You'll find them in close clusters on rotting hardwood, fallen trees, mulch, on stumps, in rich organic soil and in cured straw bales. Although edible - they are not that desirable. For more information check out my website.. https://www.ediblewildfood.com/inky-cap.aspxNEVER CONSUME 48 to 72 HOURS BEFORE OR AFTER CONSUMING ALCOHOL! THESE MUSHROOMS AND ALCOHOL BECOME TOXIC IN OUR BODY!
